"Gusman d'Alfarache bij bed met dames" is an etching by Dutch artist Jan de Bray, dating from between 1655 and 1697. The print shows a scene from Mateo Alemán's picaresque novel "Guzmán de Alfarache". It depicts a man in bed with two women, while a third woman holds a torch and appears to be a maid. The image is part of a series of prints illustrating the novel. This etching is a good example of de Bray's skill in depicting scenes of everyday life. The image is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam.
