Pyhä perhe, kopio Rembrandtin mukaan is a 1913 unspecified by Venny Soldan-Brofeldt, held at Finnish National Gallery.
The painting depicts a serene scene of a woman sitting in a dimly lit room, surrounded by shadows. She is dressed in a dark robe with a white headscarf, and her face is illuminated by a soft light. In front of her, a baby lies in a wicker basket, wrapped in a red blanket and a white cloth. The woman's gaze is focused on the baby, and her right hand gently rests on the basket. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of quiet contemplation and devotion. The use of chiaroscuro in this painting creates a sense of depth and dimensionality, drawing the viewer's attention to the central figures.
