"Jan Rijcksen and his Wife, Griet Jans," commonly known as "The Shipbuilder and his Wife," is a notable 1633 oil painting by the Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn. The work is a double portrait that depicts Jan Rijcksen, a shipbuilder in Amsterdam, and his wife Griet Jans seated at a table in an intimate domestic setting. Rijcksen is captured in the act of reviewing a piece of paper, possibly a ship plan, which he holds in his hands, while his wife stands beside him, seemingly interrupting his work to deliver a message or a letter.

The painting is celebrated for its vivid characterization and the lifelike representation of the sitters, showcasing Rembrandt's mastery in rendering textures and his sophisticated use of lighting to enhance the narrative and emotional depth of the scene. The artist's ability to convey the personalities and relationship of the couple through their expressions and gestures is particularly admired.

Measuring 63.5 cm by 47.6 cm, the artwork is part of the Royal Collection of the United Kingdom and is usually on display at the Queen's Gallery in Buckingham Palace. It is one of the few maritime-themed portraits by Rembrandt, reflecting the importance of the shipping industry in the Dutch Golden Age and providing a glimpse into the lives of the middle-class during the period.
