"The Prophetess Anna (known as 'Rembrandt's Mother')" is a notable work by the Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn, created around 1631. This painting, oil on panel, depicts an elderly woman who has traditionally been identified as the biblical figure Anna the Prophetess from the Gospel of Luke. The subject is shown in a contemplative pose, with her hands gently clasped and her gaze introspective, embodying the qualities of wisdom and piety associated with the prophetess.

The painting is also commonly referred to as "Rembrandt's Mother" because, for many years, the sitter was believed to be Rembrandt's own mother, Neeltgen Willemsdochter van Zuytbrouck. This identification has been a subject of debate among art historians, and while it adds a layer of personal narrative to the artwork, it is not universally accepted. The attribution to Rembrandt's mother is based on the resemblance of the sitter to other depictions of elderly women in Rembrandt's oeuvre, which were similarly thought to be his mother.

Measuring 60.5 cm by 47 cm, the painting is executed with the fine detail and rich chiaroscuro that are characteristic of Rembrandt's early works. The artist's skillful use of light and shadow not only models the form of the sitter but also contributes to the overall mood of reverence and solemnity. The attire of the figure, including a fur-trimmed cloak and a white headdress, is rendered with meticulous attention to texture, further demonstrating Rembrandt's mastery in portraying different materials.

"The Prophetess Anna (known as 'Rembrandt's Mother')" is an important example of Rembrandt's portraiture and his ability to convey complex emotional states through his subjects. The work is held in high esteem for its technical excellence and its evocative portrayal of a biblical figure, which also serves as a testament to the artist's interest in religious themes. The painting is part of the collection of the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden, Germany, where it continues to be studied and admired by scholars and the public alike.
