"Das Pelzchen" (also known as "Het Pelsken" or "The Little Fur") is a renowned oil painting by the Flemish Baroque artist Peter Paul Rubens, created circa 1638. This masterpiece is celebrated for its intricate depiction of Helene Fourment, Rubens' second wife, draped in nothing but a luxurious fur robe. The painting is a testament to Rubens' mastery in portraying the human form, his profound understanding of material textures, and his ability to convey intimacy and sensuality.

Measuring 176 cm by 83 cm, "Das Pelzchen" is notable for its life-size representation of the subject, which enhances its immediacy and presence. The work is housed in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, Austria, where it continues to captivate audiences with its exquisite detail, rich color palette, and the emotional depth of its portrayal.

Rubens, who was both a prolific painter and a diplomat, often infused his works with personal significance. "Das Pelzchen" is no exception; it is considered one of the most personal and intimate portraits of Helene Fourment, reflecting not only Rubens' adoration for his wife but also his unparalleled skill in capturing the essence of his subjects. The painting's composition, with Helene's gaze directly engaging the viewer, and the luxurious yet understated use of the fur, create a powerful depiction of femininity, vulnerability, and the beauty of domestic life.

The artwork has been the subject of extensive scholarly analysis, focusing on its themes of love, sensuality, and the interplay between the natural and the material world. "Das Pelzchen" remains a pivotal work in Rubens' oeuvre, exemplifying the height of Baroque artistry and the personal narrative thread that weaves through the artist's later works.
