Info

Reading Woman is an etching on paper after the work of Rembrandt van Rijn, made during the 17th century in the Netherlands. Artwork of women throughout the 17th century often consisted of images of women doing domestic work and fulfilling their motherly roles, whereas in Reading Woman it can be observed that the woman is dressed as a homemaker sitting on a short wooden chair while reading. Whether the woman is reading for academics or for leisure, she is still reading, which is not very common for women during that time period. Reading Woman was donated to Mills College by Dr. William Fitzhugh, Jr. along with a collection of other pieces by Rembrandt and European artists of that period. —Carol Ignacio 30
