Jonge vrouw zittend bij een raam (Saskia?)

From the Rijksmuseum record

This drawing is often regarded as a ‘portrait’ of Saskia. If so, she consciously plays a role here. Wearing a simple cloth around her head and an apron, it seems as if she has come straight out of the kitchen. Saskia, however, was a mayor’s daughter and married to an artist full of social ambitions. She would thus never have walked around the house dressed like a kitchen maid.
