🖼 A woman in Zeeland costume, from the back, c. 1636
Pen and wash
220 × 150 cm
Haarlem, Netherlands

A figure in traditional Zeeland dress stands with her back to the viewer, rendered in Rembrandt's characteristic warm, layered technique with careful attention to fabric texture and light. This intimate rear-view portrait documents Dutch regional costume while exploring the artist's fascination with everyday subjects elevated through masterful psychological presence.
