Though the identity of the girl is uncertain, it is thought she was a family servant. Some find this questionable in view of the gold chains around the model’s neck and view it as more likely to be a tronie, or figure study, showing a stock character in costume. Originally rectangular in format, this painting was most likely cut down and given an arched top at the end of the seventeenth century. During the recent conservation of the painting, the discoloured varnish was carefully removed, revealing an astonishingly bold mixture of colours in the model's face that would not seem out of place in a twenty-first century portrait. Cleaning also permitted a clearer appreciation of Rembrandt's confident sweeps of the brush and thickly applied 'impasto' paint. __________ Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn (1606 – 1669) painter and etcher of the Dutch Golden Age. One of the greatest painters and printmakers in European art history and the most important in Dutch history. Dulwich Picture Gallery, London

One of the most famous living artists at the turn of the 20th century, Anders Zorn (1860-1920) dazzled the art world with his bravura paintings, watercolors, and etchings. His early travels took him to Spain and Algeria where the intense color and light inspired the virtuoso watercolorist to perfect his craft.
Let twilight envelop your senses with this breathtaking depiction of Ardanaiseig Bay, where the Scottish evening sky blushes with hues of pink, orange, and lilac. This modern interpretation captures the serene atmosphere of the location at dusk, with the day's last light reflecting off the tranquil waters and bouncing between the sky and sea in a harmonious dance of colour. The artwork exquisitely portrays the intricate textures and patterns of the shoreline, where the gentle ebb and flow of the tide carves out delicate lines in the sand and amongst the rocks. The shoreline is adorned with a beautiful gradient of tones, from warm golds and soft umbers to cool blues and muted purples, each skillfully blended to evoke the magical transition between day and night. In the background, the silhouetted peaks stand as silent guardians of the cove, their presence adding a sense of enduring permanence to the fleeting spectacle of the sunset. The interplay of light and shadow creates a dramatic yet soothing landscape, inviting viewers to take a moment and lose themselves in the serenity of the Scottish coves. This print is a perfect centrepiece for lovers of contemporary art and the untamed beauty of Scotland's natural wonder. It manages to be both vibrant and calm, bold yet understated, making it versatile enough to complement a variety of interior spaces. Add an essence of the sublime Scottish countryside to your collection, and let the peacefulness of Ardanaiseig Bay at dusk wash over you, time and time again.
