Painting Description
"Old Beggar Woman With A Gourd" (b., Holl. 168; H. 80; Bb. 30-16) is an evocative etching by the renowned Dutch artist Rembrandt van Rijn, created in 1630. This work is a striking example of Rembrandt's ability to capture the human condition with profound empathy and technical mastery. The etching depicts an elderly woman, hunched and weathered by time, holding a gourd, which is often interpreted as a symbol of her reliance on charity and the hardships of her life.
Rembrandt's use of etching as a medium allowed him to achieve remarkable detail and texture, which is evident in the intricate lines that define the woman's worn features and tattered clothing. The play of light and shadow in the etching highlights Rembrandt's skill in chiaroscuro, a technique he mastered and employed to great effect throughout his career. This work is part of a series of etchings by Rembrandt that focus on beggars and the impoverished, reflecting his interest in the lives of the marginalized and his ability to convey their dignity and humanity.
The etching measures approximately 10.5 x 6.2 cm, making it a relatively small yet powerful piece. It is catalogued in several key references of Rembrandt's graphic works, including Bartsch (Bb. 30-16), Hollstein (H. 80), and Biörklund (b. 168). These references are essential for scholars and collectors, providing detailed descriptions and historical context for Rembrandt's etchings.
"Old Beggar Woman With A Gourd" is housed in various collections around the world, including major museums and private collections, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance. This etching not only exemplifies Rembrandt's technical prowess but also his deep compassion for the human spirit, making it a timeless piece that resonates with viewers across centuries.
