A painter now only known by the initials “I.S.” produced a small but significant body of work in seventeenth-century Northern Europe. For the first time, an international research and exhibition project has now shed more light on this mysterious artist, who has long been linked to the Dutch artist Rembrandt van Rijn (1606–1669). Renowned specialist in the history of dress, Dr. Marieke de Winkel discusses what clues can be found about the artist’s possible identity when carefully observing the clothing depicted in I.S.’s work.
