Diana at the Bath is a 1631 ink by Rembrandt, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows a woman lying on her side, her head resting on one arm. She’s naked except for a few draped fabrics, and her hair is loose. Around her are plants and a rock, with water in the background. The artist used shading to make her skin and the fabrics look soft and real. The lines around her body are precise, showing how light and shadow fall. Next, look up etching to see how artists like Rembrandt made prints like this.
Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn (15 July 1606 – 4 October 1669), known mononymously as Rembrandt, was a Dutch Golden Age painter, printmaker, and draughtsman.
