FRAMING INFORMATION
1st Art Gallery offers the option to receive your painting ready to hang or rolled in a tube.
Currently, for safety, we're able to ship framed paintings only up to a certain size. Once the maximum size is reached, the framing option is automatically disabled.
However, if you are interested in stretching or framing a painting larger than 24x36 inches (60x90 cm), please contact one of our customer success associates or let us know in your order notes. We will send you a catalog of our large framing styles and pricing options.
Unframed rolled canvas orders will arrive rolled inside a protective tube with an extra 1.5" white canvas on all sides so you can easily frame it locally.


A Girl at a Window is an oil on canvas painted over the year of 1645, and it shows an unknown girl leaning on a ledge made of stone and staring directly at the observer. Like many of Rembrandt’s pieces, this is a dark painting, and the central figure stands out from the shadows as a primary beacon of light. It’s hard to indicate precisely the location depicted in the painting. It’s an indoor space, the walls are dark, and it looks like everything around her is made of dark stained concrete, apart from a piece on her right-hand side, that seems like a brown piece of furniture carved in wood. Yet, the environment is not established.
The most outstanding feature of this artwork is her eyes. Her piercing stare is very expressive and looks into the viewer’s eyes. If this were a staged scene, she would be looking directly into Rembrandt’s eyes as he painted her. She is portrayed in a loose white shirt, which almost looks like an undergarment. The shirt is made of loose white cloth and is embroidered with gold strings. Some gold strings tie the cleavage together.
She has an angelical round face and a very innocent expression. There are several theories of where this girl comes from; some people suggest that she would be a Jewish bride, others believe she would be a courtesan. The most accepted version is that she would be just a servant girl. She has rosy cheeks and pearly skin, but her arms are more tanned than the rest of her body, suggesting she would be a working girl that would possibly execute some work outdoors.
She has beautiful dark ginger hair with curls that run down framing her face. Her hair is pulled back, but some curls pop from the hairstyle, which is tied up by a dark red string.
Her face and body all show much of what defined Rembrandt’s style around the years of 1640 when he explored realistic brushstrokes and further developed the color palette to create a more accurate way of representing portraits and people. Recently this painting went through a conservation process where they discovered an even more detailed color palette on the woman’s face than initially perceived by historians.
