A Woman Bathing in a Stream (Hendrickje Stoffels?)
1654
The painting shows a woman standing in a shallow stream, lifting a white, loose robe to reveal her upper chest and legs as she steps forward; her head is tilted downward in a contemplative mood. Light falls softly on her skin and the white fabric, while the surrounding space remains dark and earth-toned with warm yellows, browns, and greens that create depth and contrast. The work exemplifies Rembrandt's Dutch Baroque style with expressive brushwork, strong chiaroscuro, and a naturalistic rendering of skin and drapery, though the sitter's identity is not definitively known.
