181523646Amsterdam 1815. In this etching Rembrandt has depicted his wife Saskia surrounded by six other subjects of different ages including his mother. The etching is reminiscent of a sketchbook page in which the artist practices different facial expressions and the fall of drapery on his subjects. Saskia receives the most detailed study with very fine lines used to draw her curls and a thin headdress. Each figure looks out in a different direction. <br /> <br /> There are approximately 125-225 known impressions of this work many posthumous. Nowell-Usticke B365.
