Girl at a Window (Girl Leaning on a Stone Window Sill) Rembrandt Harmensz van Rijn 1645 oil on canvas 81.8 x 66.2 cm Dulwich Picture Galley, London
This painting of a young girl, Rembrandt's maid, exhibits a freedom from tension rare in Rembrandt's work. He portrays, in a moment of ease, fresh-faced girlhood without ulterior motives. This is Rembrandt, in mid-career, revealing himself at his most relaxed and most beguiling. The figure is as richly modelled in three dimensions as any in the artist's earlier work, but the handling is now broader and the treatment as a whole more atmospheric.
