Portrait of Oopjen Coppit
Rembrandt van Rijn, 1634
Oopjen was the eldest of three daughters of an old, affluent Amsterdam family. She sat to Rembrandt one year after her wedding with Marten. She was 23, and pregnant with her first child. The marriage represented an alliance between an established family and one of newcomers. This was celebrated with the commission of monumental likenesses from the city’s leading portraitist, namely Rembrandt van Rijn.
