About this work

While other artists had their models pose as mythological figures, Rembrandt as a rule chose a direct rendering of his model. In this etching an undressed woman seated on a chair is surrounded by all sorts of clothes. The gentleman’s hat is conspicuous: what is it doing near this nude woman, and how did it get there?
