Title: Saskia van Uylenburgh, Three Days after her Betrothal to Rembrandt. Date: 1633. Silverpoint on parchment. She is related to the art dealer with which Rembrandt lived. Sketchy, intimate. Rounded top like a window. Daughter of the mayor.

Woman on the left side, side view, looking out at the viewer. Double chin and tired eyes.

Title: The Rape of Europa. Date: 1632. History painting. Small. Mythological abduction story- daughter of a king, Jupiter attracted to her so turned into a bull to carry her off. Figures look like 17th century Dutch women- not idealized, not monumental, n
