Description
A Woman Making Water is a late 18th- or early 19th-century etching after Rembrandt van Rijn, associated by The Metropolitan Museum of Art with Baron Dominique Vivant Denon. The small composition shows a woman crouching beside a tree, her clothing gathered around her knees. Dense etched lines shade her figure and the tree trunk, while the surrounding ground is more lightly indicated.
The print belongs to the long history of artists and printmakers revisiting Rembrandt’s subjects and manner. Its compact scale and spare setting keep attention on the figure and the quick descriptive handling of clothing and posture.
