Cabinet with Inlaid Flower Vases, Jan van Mekeren (attributed to), c. 1695 - c. 1710
This cabinet was made by one of the most famous Dutch cabinetmakers of the 17th century: Jan van Mekeren. At that time, a cabinet by him cost even more than a painting by Rembrandt. Using a fretsaw, he cut all kinds of shapes from as many as 15 types of variously coloured wood. He then glued the small pieces together, like a puzzle. For instance, on the doors he made bouquets of flowers, and do you also see the birds and butterflies?

Old Woman Reading, Probably the Prophetess Anna, Rembrandt van Rijn, 1631
Here the light comes from behind the old woman: the brightest illumination falls on the book and her wrinkled hand, modelled with paint. Her face remains in shadow. She could be the prophetess Anna, an elderly widow who, according to the Bible, served God through fasting and prayer. Tradition has it that Rembrandt’s mother posed for this painting.
