Painting Description
"Old Beggar Woman with a Gourd" is a 1630 etching by the Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn, known for his profound contributions to art during the Dutch Golden Age. This work is one of a series of studies and prints that depict the lives of beggars and the impoverished, a subject that Rembrandt explored throughout his career. The etching measures approximately 83 x 71 mm and is executed on a small scale, yet it captures the essence of the subject with remarkable detail and empathy.

The woman is depicted in profile, looking to the left, with a gourd hanging from her belt, which was a common vessel for carrying liquids at the time. Her expression is one of resignation and fatigue, which may reflect the artist's social commentary on the hardships faced by the lower classes in 17th-century Dutch society.

"Old Beggar Woman with a Gourd" is not only a testament to Rembrandt's technical prowess but also to his enduring interest in the diverse spectrum of humanity.
