Gallery Kitchen Maid
Rembrandt´s kitchen maid, oil on canvas, 40 * 50 cm
The original painting made by Rembrandt in 1651 is found at the National Museum in Stockholm.
King Gustav III bought this work in 1776 to Stockholm.
When I was 14-16 years, I made a water color work of this picture and we had it framed on the wall for many years.
It disappeared in later years in some removal. As we in the Fria Konstakademin tried to paint like they used to paint
in Rembrandt´s time, I wanted to do the Kitchen Maid again. I spent half a day stydying the original painting
in Stockholm. It was very dramatic to see the original painting as I had been intensively working on my own version
for a long time. It was like meeting an old friend. Now this painting is hanging on a wall in our home.
