Description
Saskia with Pearls in Her Hair is a 1634 etching by Rembrandt van Rijn. In this close portrait, Saskia’s face emerges from dark hair and clothing, while finely etched lines give shape to the light across her features. The pearls named in the title add a small, intimate detail to the likeness.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art holds this impression of Saskia with Pearls in Her Hair. Its paper shows age tone and marginal marks that belong to this sheet; the portrait itself remains clear.
