Rembrandt - Hendrickje Stoffels – Art Print | Feminist Portrait of Love, Defiance & Dutch Golden Age Grace

Hendrickje Stoffels by Rembrandt – From Housekeeper to Muse, Mother, and Unofficial Wife

More than just a model, Hendrickje Stoffels was Rembrandt’s partner, muse, and the mother of his only surviving child. Once his housekeeper, she defied societal norms by living openly with him—unmarried—at a time when such choices meant public shame. In this mid-1650s portrait, Rembrandt captures her with tender realism, celebrating her quiet strength and emotional depth. From a feminist viewpoint, Hendrickje represents resilience, self-possession, and love beyond convention. This print honors a woman who made her place in history gracefully, boldly, and without apology.

Sized at 8×10", this print is ideal for framing and makes a striking addition to any home, office, or gallery wall.

Printed on heavy 60lb matte photo paper with a soft white finish, this piece offers exceptional detail and ink vibrancy. The acid-free surface ensures longevity, while the 10 mil thickness gives it a luxurious feel worthy of fine art.
