Willem Drost (1633 – 1659)
Willem Drost (1633-1659): Dutch Golden Age painter & Rembrandt pupil. Discover evocative portraits, historical scenes & rediscover attributions once labeled 'Rembrandt'.
The sitter bears a resemblance to Hendrickje Stoffels (born about 1625–26, died 1663), Rembrandt"s common-law wife and the subject of a number of his portraits, one of which is in The Met. The picture is the work of a pupil of Rembrandt, and the strong light striking the face suggests that it may be by Barent Fabritius. Another version is in Dresden.
