Portrait of an Old Lady, Possibly Elisabeth Bas 1640
by Ferdinand Bol
Rembrandt’s studio in Amsterdam quickly became a hive of activity, with many pupils eager to work in his style. This portrait was long held to be an autograph painting by Rembrandt himself. The sitter may be
Elisabeth Bas, the widow of a wealthy tavern owner.
