EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite painting titled "Old Woman Reading Old Woman reading Lectionary". The artwork is believed to be a portrait of Rembrandt's mother, Neeltgen Willemsdr van Zuijdtbroeck, who passed away in 1640. In this portrayal, the elderly woman delicately holds a book that contains a beautiful print illustrating the gospel of Lukas. Her attire reflects the fashion of her time, with a fur cap adorning her head and a collar made from luxurious fur enhancing her neck. Painted by Gerard Dou between 1631 and 1632, this panel masterpiece measures approximately 71.2 cm in height, 55.2 cm in width, and has a depth of only 1.1 cm. The image captures the old woman engrossed in her reading as she immerses herself in the pages of the Bible. Her expression reveals both wisdom and serenity gained through years of experience and devotion to spiritual matters. This remarkable piece not only serves as an artistic representation but also provides us with insight into historical clothing styles and cultural practices prevalent during Rembrandt's era. It is truly fascinating to witness how art can transport us back in time while simultaneously evoking emotions within our present-day hearts
