Rembrandt depicted more frequently the members of Saskia's family than his own relatives. This sixty-two-year-old woman in a white cap was identified as Aeltje Pietersdr. Uylenburgh (c. 1570-1644), Saskia's older cousin, wife of Jan Cornelisz. Sylvius. Rembrandt also portrayed the husband in two etchings.
