![Caesar Boëtius van Everdingen, Girl with a wide hat, c. 1645 - c. 1650, Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam](https://www.kunst-in-amsterdam.nl/en/wp-content/blogs.dir/2/grand-media/image/SK-A-5005.jpg)
The beautiful bare-shouldered lady is painted with soft transitions from light to dark. Her eyes fall into the shadow of the wide-brimmed hat. She symbolizes the summer season. Contrary to the strong light-dark aspect of painters like Rembrandt, there were also fine painters who worked more in subtle nuances of color.
