Rembrandt (Rembrandt van Rijn) Dutch
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 616
Herman Doomer was a successful cabinetmaker who worked with the imported hardwoods fashionable in seventeenth-century Amsterdam. The exceptional care Rembrandt took with this likeness may indicate his esteem for a fellow master artisan. At roughly the same time that Rembrandt painted the portrait of Doomer and a companion piece of his wife Baertje Martens (1640; State Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg), the couple’s son Lambert was an apprentice in the artist’s studio.
