Young Girl at a Window (1645). Rembrandt van Rijn.For about 20 years, from the moment I was born to the moment I became airborne, this girl quietly observed my life from her place on the wall. She’s almost as familiar to me as my own face. I’ve never stood in front of the picture to examine it; it was just there, like the sun and the clouds.I don’t know what happened to it.One thing I’ve always wondered: where is she located? It’s a dark, unwelcoming place. -- source link
