This painting is an homage to Rembrandt by Gene Gould. The Rembrandt's
painting "Old woman seated" was part of an exchange between the Moscow
State Pushkin Museum and the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, where Gene
Gould lived at the time.
An unusual feature of the Rembrandt's painting, also present in Gene
Gould's work, is that the ring on the lady's hand has a build up of paint
applied in such a way that, at certain viewing angles, it reflects light
as a real gem would. This cannot be seen on reproductions. |
