Young Woman in Fantasy Costume
View through Europeana Collections
The young woman’s clothing is not in keeping with the fashions of Rembrandt’s day, but rather reflects styles of earlier centuries. The woman’s distinctive features – a domed forehead, slightly bulging eyes, and
pronounced chin – are easily recognized in depictions of ancient goddesses and heroines that Rembrandt
painted in the 1630s. Thus the painting is not strictly a portrait, but a ‘tronie’, or fantasy head.
