"The Fur" ("Het Pelsken"), also known as "Portrait of Helene Fourment in a Fur Robe," is a renowned painting by the Flemish Baroque artist Peter Paul Rubens, created circa 1636-1638. This intimate and sensual portrait depicts Rubens's second wife, Helene Fourment, who was a frequent subject of his work and a significant source of inspiration throughout his career. The painting is celebrated for its masterful depiction of textures, particularly the luxurious fur wrap that envelops Fourment's figure, lending the work its title.

In "The Fur," Rubens captures the softness of the fur against Fourment's skin with a remarkable sense of realism, showcasing his virtuosity in rendering different materials. The composition is both a celebration of marital affection and an exploration of the tactile qualities that were a hallmark of Rubens's artistic style. The work is characterized by its warm color palette, the fluidity of its brushwork, and the intimate scale that invites the viewer into a private moment.

The painting is held in high esteem not only for its aesthetic qualities but also for its insight into 17th-century fashion and the personal life of one of the most influential artists of the Baroque period. "The Fur" is housed in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, Austria, where it continues to be a subject of admiration and scholarly interest. Its enduring appeal lies in its combination of technical prowess, emotional depth, and the glimpse it offers into the private world of Rubens and his muse.
