More about this artwork

Visitors to our collection are invited to explore "Nude Woman with a Snake," a stirring work by Rembrandt van Rijn, one of history's most revered artists. Dated 1637, this drawing showcases Rembrandt's masterful use of red chalk to create rich, textured lines that bring depth and realism to his figures.In this composition, Rembrandt depicts a nude woman in a relaxed stance, with a snake gracefully coiled around her right leg. The subject's demeanor is serene, her eyes modestly downcast, adding a layer of intimate contemplation to the piece. Her body is rendered with soft, fluid lines that emphasize her form and the gentle folds of her drapery, which cascades elegantly from her left arm. The snake, often a symbol of temptation, adds a narrative element to the artwork, hinting at stories from classical mythology or perhaps biblical references, challenging the viewer to consider deeper themes of virtue and vice.The choice of red chalk allows for a warm, sensual palette that complements the theme of the drawing. The strokes vary in intensity, showing Rembrandt’s skill in using this medium to play with light and shadow, enhancing the three-dimensionality of the figure.This work is a beautiful example of Rembrandt’s drawings, providing insight into his artistic process and his ability to convey complex human emotions and narratives through art.

Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn was a Dutch draughtsman, painter, and printmaker. An innovative and prolific master in three media, he is generally considered one of the greatest visual artists in the history of art and the most important in Dutch art history. Unlike most Dutch masters of the 17th century, Rembrandt's works depict a wide range of style and subject matter, from portraits and self-portraits to landscapes, genre scenes, allegorical and historical scenes, and biblical and mythological themes as well as animal studies.
