"Mother with Hands Folded on her Chest" is a notable painting by the Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn, created circa 1628. This early work from Rembrandt's oeuvre is a portrait of an elderly woman, believed by some to be the artist's mother, Neeltgen Willemsdochter van Zuytbrouck. The painting is executed in oil on panel and measures approximately 55.2 cm by 47 cm. It is currently housed in the State Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg, Russia.

The portrait is characterized by its intimate and contemplative representation, showcasing Rembrandt's emerging skill in capturing the psychological depth and emotional state of his subjects. The woman in the painting is depicted with her hands folded on her chest, a pose that suggests introspection and perhaps piety or resignation. The lighting in the painting is subtle yet dramatic, with the subject's face and hands illuminated against a dark background, a technique that would become a hallmark of Rembrandt's mature style.

The attribution of the sitter as Rembrandt's mother is based on the resemblance to other known depictions of her in his works, although this identification is not universally accepted. Regardless of the sitter's identity, the painting is an important example of Rembrandt's early portraiture and his exploration of the human condition through the medium of paint.

"Mother with Hands Folded on her Chest" reflects the influence of Caravaggio's chiaroscuro and the Dutch tradition of tronie, a type of character study or facial expression that was not meant to be a formal portrait but rather an exploration of expressions and emotions. This painting, with its focus on the aged features and the dignified composure of the subject, exemplifies Rembrandt's lifelong interest in the portrayal of elderly figures and his ability to render their physical and emotional experiences with empathy and respect.

As with many of Rembrandt's works, the painting has been studied extensively by art historians and is considered a significant piece within the context of 17th-century Dutch art. It offers insights into the artist's early development and his approach to portraiture, which would have a profound impact on the course of Western art.
