Badende Frau in einem Fluss (Hendrickje Stoffels?)

A Woman bathing in a Stream (Hendrickje Stoffels?)

A young woman wades in a shallow pool, immersed in a private reverie. The brocade robe behind her suggests that she might be a historical figure, possibly the Old Testament heroine Susanna, who was spied upon by lecherous Elders. The spontaneous quality of Rembrandt's brushwork enhances the intimacy of this

work.
