Girl with a Basket is a 1642 ink by Rembrandt, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a girl wearing a wide-brimmed hat and a loose dress. She’s holding a basket on her arm, and her posture is relaxed, almost casual. The lines are rough and scratchy, like the artist was working fast, capturing her shape and movement with quick strokes. The paper looks worn, with some smudges and marks—this isn’t a polished painting but a raw etching. That means the artist used acid to bite into the plate, creating those bold, uneven lines.
