The Master’s Apprentice
This did not stop the painting from being proudly displayed, however, as the less famous assistant to Rembrandt still deserved to be honored. Ironically, in 2018, the painting was whisked off to New York University. There it was subjected to numerous tests, such as electron microscopy, X-ray procedures, and infrared scanning. Thanks to procedures like these, the experts then learned that something was out of place with the artwork. Just what had they stumbled upon?

His Name
Those that handled the preservation of “Portrait of a Young Woman” assumed that it had been painted by an artist that had studied under Rembrandt. This they gathered from the details and style of the artwork. Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn was born in 1606, in Leiden, the Netherlands. The man was best-recognized thanks to his first name. Leiden is a gorgeous city that is situated about five miles off the beautiful coast of the Netherlands.
