Woman sitting half-dressed beside a stove (1658), Rembrandt van Rijn
Arguably Rembrandt’s finest print of a nude, this etching belongs to a group made in the 1650s showing women in various states of undress. Far from the monumental and explicit Bathsheba, whose pose she echoes, this seated figure has a quiet domestic intimacy which appears shyly erotic in contrast.
