Woman Bathing Her Feet at a Brook 1658

Rembrandt van Rijn’s etching "Woman Bathing Her Feet at a Brook" from 1658 depicts a woman in a contemplative pose, her head bowed as she washes her feet in a stream. The composition is masterfully rendered through subtle chiaroscuro, highlighting the woman’s form against the dark background. The artist's use of etched lines creates a sense of depth and texture, capturing the flow of water and the folds of her clothing. This intimate scene, held within a small format, is characteristic of Rembrandt's later works, often exploring themes of introspection and the human condition.
