Portrait of an old woman reading
Gerrit Dou · 1631
Why it's great
An old woman with a wrinkled face reads a large book, and the light glows on the pages. Gerrit Dou painted it in 1631, and it's a student work of Rembrandt, painted with tiny, delicate brushes.

Gerrit Dou was a Dutch painter born in Leiden in 1613. He was Rembrandt's first student, and became famous for tiny, polished pictures with glowing candlelight and very fine detail. He died in 1675.
