"Helen Fourment in Furs," also known as "Het Pelsken," is a celebrated portrait by the Flemish Baroque artist Peter Paul Rubens, painted circa 1638. This artwork is renowned for its depiction of Rubens' second wife, Hélène Fourment, who was about 26 years old at the time of the painting. The portrait is a striking example of Rubens' mastery in capturing the vitality and sensuousness of his subjects, characteristics that define much of his work.

The painting showcases Hélène Fourment draped in a luxurious fur coat, which is believed to be made of lynx. Her pose and the manner in which the fur is worn, revealing her shoulder and part of her chest, imbue the portrait with an intimate and sensual aura. This aspect of the painting highlights Rubens' skill in portraying the human form with a palpable sense of flesh and realism, as well as his ability to convey the textures of fabrics and furs with remarkable accuracy and detail.

"Helen Fourment in Furs" is not just a testament to Rubens' artistic prowess; it also offers insights into the personal life of the artist. Hélène Fourment was the subject of many of Rubens' works, and her depiction in this portrait reflects the deep affection and admiration he had for her. The painting, therefore, stands as a significant document of their relationship, showcasing the intimate bond between artist and muse.

Currently housed in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, Austria, "Helen Fourment in Furs" remains a pivotal work in the oeuvre of Peter Paul Rubens. It continues to be studied and admired for its technical excellence, its rich emotional depth, and its place within the broader context of 17th-century Flemish portraiture. The painting is a quintessential example of Rubens' ability to blend the physical with the emotional, creating works that resonate with viewers on multiple levels.
