Portrait of Rembrandt painting Hendrickje as his Model is a 1800 oil by Unknown, depicting Bathsheba, held at Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum.
This painting depicts a woman sitting on a bench, wrapped in a white cloth. She is looking down, and her right leg is crossed over her left. To her right, a man is standing, holding a palette and brush. He is wearing a hat and a dark jacket. The woman's pose suggests that she is a model, and the man is likely the artist, Rembrandt. The painting's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume, with the woman's body emerging from the shadows. This painting is reminiscent of the work of Rembrandt, a Dutch painter known for his use of chiaroscuro and his portraits of women.
