Dutch masters exhibition in Beijing

The 17th century Dutch Golden Age had several significant artists and a range of great pieces produced during the period – including Jan Vermeer's Young Woman at Virginal, Jan Lievens' Boy in a Cape, and Turban and Rembrandt's Self-Portrait with Shaded Eyes.

Some of the most refined examples of the time, including the three pieces mentioned above, will make their debut in China as part of a world tour of The Leiden Collection.
