The Great Jewish Bride

Rembrandt van Rijn

National Gallery of Art

This print shows a partial view of a woman seen from the waist up. She is positioned facing slightly to the left, with pale skin and long, flowing hair that is spread out down her shoulder and arms. She has high cheekbones, round eyes, and thin lips in a neutral expression. She appears to be wearing a long white garment with a high neck. The bottom half of the print is blank, with a few of the woman's curls reaching down into the blank space. The background in the upper half of the print is a textured surface, possibly a wall, with what look like tall columns on the right. The background of the print is beige paper.
