Diana at the Bath

Rembrandt van Rijn (mentioned on object), c. 1631

The woman looks over her shoulder to see who is intruding on her while she bathes in the woods. Half concealed by her clothing on the bank is a quiver, the attribute of Diana, goddess of the hunt. Here, too, Rembrandt was not seeking a classical ideal of beauty, but remained true to his own manner of working.
