EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Girl Asleep in a Window" is a remarkable piece of art created by the renowned Dutch artist Rembrandt Harmensz van Rijn. The portrait showcases his common-law wife, Hendrickje Stoffels, who sadly passed away in 1663. The image captures a serene moment as the young woman peacefully slumbers against the backdrop of a window. Rembrandt's masterful use of ink and wash techniques brings out the delicate details of her features and clothing. The monochrome palette adds to the timeless quality of this seventeenth-century artwork. Originally featured in Bernhard Degenhart's book "Europaische Handzeichnungen" (Five Hundred Years of European Drawings), this particular edition was published in 1943 by Atlantis-Verlag Berlin and Zurich.
