" She is Virginia Stephen, pale and tall, startling as a Rembrandt..." (Cunningham, 33).
Rembrandt Harmensz van Rijn was an artist born in Leiden on July 15, 1606. He is known for mythological and religious works, which were in high demand during his lifetime. Leonard remembers his wife when she was young and beautiful, like a Rembrandt, and even though she has aged, he still loves her. (Edit) It is interesting that Cunningham included this because usually aging is viewed in a negative light.
