Oopjen Coppit

c. 1634

Rembrandt went all out with the lace on Oopjen’s collar—it’s so intricate you can practically feel the texture through the paint. Dressed in a lavish black gown and clutching a fan, she looks every bit the wealthy 17th-century socialite. This portrait is actually half of a famous pair painted for her wedding to Marten Soolmans; they were the only full-length couple Rembrandt ever painted. In a historic modern deal, the Louvre and the Rijksmuseum bought them together, meaning France and the Netherlands now share custody of this glamorous duo.
