Woman at the Bath with a Hat beside Her

Rembrandt van Rijn

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a seated woman in profile, facing to the left. She is on a piece of furniture resembling a bed, with her head turned slightly to the left. She appears to have a simple hairstyle, with her hair pulled back neatly. Her body is mostly unclothed, and she holds a piece of cloth over her legs with her right hand. There are no visible pieces of jewelry. In the background, there is a dark shadowy area, suggesting furniture. The lighting is brighter behind her head, creating contrast with the darker tones around her.
