Not on view
Rembrandt is shown working in his studio, painting at an easel while observed by a well-to-do Dutch patron and other figures. Next to the artist is a table covered with a carpet and painting paraphernalia. On the left are elements of costume, and three female figures, an old woman wearing a ruff, a young pretty girl, and a child, who examines sheets in an open portfolio. Sir John Gilbert, who conceived the scene, and Thomas who engraved it, were both British, but the wood engraving published in a French periodical, demonstrating the frequent flow across the Channel of artistic imagery and skilled printmaking.
