Old Woman Cutting Her Nails ca. 1655-60 Style of Rembrandt Dutch Once well known as a Rembrandt, this large canvas has also been attributed to the master's pupil, Nicolaes Maes (1643-1693), and to Abraham van Dijck (ca. 1635-1680). The two artists were closely associated in Dordrecht, the southern Dutch city from which several Rembrandt followers came. Whatever its authorship, the painting must date from about 1655-60. The sewing materials and the act of clipping nails probably suggest domestic virtues of a kind often associated with widowhood. The monumental treatment is unexpected and surely inspired by Rembrandt.. Old Woman Cutting Her Nails 437412

As a vision of the goddess dissolves at left, a papal messenger hurries forward with a budding staff that signifies divine forgiveness.Dicksee's art was rooted in late Pre-Raphaelite concepts developed by artists such as Edward Burne-Jones, and the present image encapsulates the competing pulls of erotic desire and Christian devotion. Two years before making this drawing, the artist exhibited "The Redemption of Tannhäuser" at the Royal Academy, and here rework
