Rembrandt van Rijn, Woman with a Pink Flower, c. 1660-64.
‘This picture and its companion, “Man with a Magnifying Glass”, date from the early 1660s. If the identification of the male sitter as Pieter Haringh is correct, then the woman is his wife Elisabeth Delft (ca. 1620–1679). … The pink, or carnation, is a traditional symbol of love and marriage.’ (via MET Museum)
