From Museum of Fine Arts, Houston:
This exquisite painting exemplifies the qualities that made Rembrandt the leading portrait painter of his generation and, ultimately, one of the greatest painters of all time. It demonstrates his exceptional ability to capture an animated, memorable likeness that seems to breathe beneath the surface. Rembrandt’s technical genius--the skill with which he varies his brushstrokes, contrasts translucent with opaque areas, and defines certain details yet leaves others deliberately vague--is also revealed here.
