Rembrandt’s ‘Girl’ will visit Getty

She hasn’t been seen in public since the early 1970s, but she hasn’t aged a day: The J. Paul Getty Museum has secured the long-term loan of Rembrandt’s “Portrait of a Girl Wearing a Gold-Trimmed Cloak” from a New York private collection.

It will display the 1632 painting of the richly dressed, unknown woman Tuesday through 2008 at the Getty Center museum’s East Pavilion painting galleries, near the artist’s work “The Abduction of Europa.”

“Portrait of a Girl,” which inspired many of the facial types of heroines found in Rembrandt’s work in the early 1630s, will be the fifth Rembrandt painting on view at the museum.
