Nude Seated on a Bench with a Pillow (Woman Bathing Her Feet at a Brook)

Rembrandt van Rijn

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a seated nude person in a hunched, forward-leaning posture. The person's head and shoulders are slightly bowed, and their facial features are finely etched but not pronounced. Their hair is short and disheveled. There are no clothes visible, and the person is seated on a textured surface. They are holding a textile or sheet with both hands. The background is dark, contrasting with the lighter tones of the body.
