I was delighted to see "The Polish Rider" featured prominently in the exhibition along with three other Rembrandt paintings from the collection. As part of the exhibition there are numerous pen and ink drawings by Rembrandt and his students. The drawings are from the Lugt Collection in Paris.
I highly recommend a visit to the Frick at any time, but especially before May 15, 2011 when the exhibition closes. If you visit the collection make sure to spend some time in the permanent collection and take a few minutes to enjoy the lovely indoor courtyard garden. My cousin Diane's favorite painting is by Hans Holbein and it is a stunning portrait of Sir Thomas More.

Wonderful post about the current exhibit at the Frick! I too really love the Polish Rider, there is so much mystery in this painting.
