ART---- Discussion: Young Girl at an Open Half-Door

The hallmarks of the Baroque Era are the dramatic use of light and movement. In his Young Girl at an Open Half-Door, Rembrandt manipulates light and subtle movement to describe a moment in the life of this adolescent young woman. What do think is happening in this painting? What is going on in her mind at this moment? How does she feel? How does the artist feel about her? How can you relate this little experience to your own life, or the experience of someone you know?
