Woman Sitting Half Dressed beside a Stove is a 1658 ink by Rembrandt, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting depicts a woman sitting beside a stove, with her upper body exposed and her lower body covered by a dark skirt. Her hair is pulled back, and she appears to be engaged in an activity, possibly holding a piece of cloth or fabric. The woman's pose and expression convey a sense of quiet contemplation, as if she is lost in thought. The stove behind her adds a sense of warmth and intimacy to the scene, creating a cozy atmosphere. The painting's use of chiaroscuro and subtle shading creates a sense of depth and dimensionality, drawing the viewer's eye to the woman's face and upper body.
