From the collection of National Gallery of Art
The Artist's Mother Seated at a Table, Looking Right is a 1631 ink by Rembrandt, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting depicts a woman seated at a table, looking to the right. She is dressed in dark clothing and has a head covering. The background of the painting is a light color, which contrasts with the darker tones of the woman's clothing. The woman's face is rendered in detail, with visible wrinkles and a serious expression. Her hands are clasped together in front of her, adding to the sense of solemnity. The overall effect of the painting is one of quiet contemplation. This painting is a fine example of the work of Rembrandt van Rijn.
