Portrait of Saskia is an oil on wood painting by the dutch painter and etcher Rembrandt van Rijn. It was painted in 1634-42. Rembrandt married on June 22, 1634. His bride was Saskia Uylenburgh (born in 1612), the cousin of Hendrick Uylenburgh and the daughter of the burgomaster of Leeuwarden. Saskia brought a substantial dowry as well as patrician status with her, so this marriage represented a substantial climb in social status for Rembrandt. This painting (100 x 79 cm) is currently housed in the Staatliche Museen, Kassel.
