G. Boerner, Inc., New York) Context: One of the most important painters of the 17th century, Rembrandt was also innovative and influential as a printmaker. In his hands, etching was not only a method for producing images in multiples, it was also another creative activity. He experimented continuously, fully exploiting the varied effects that resulted from inking and wiping the etching plate in different ways and printing on a variety of papers. By manipulating the process, a single plate could yield a great range of results.Since the majority of Rembrandt's works are portraits or depictions of biblical and mythological subjects, figures are prominent in his imagery. He focused on the nude in drawings and etchings during three periods in his career: at the beginning, in 1631; in 1646; and finally, from 1654 to 1661. Woman Bathing Her Feet in a Brook is a late work in which the experienced master concentrated on the subtle play of light and shadow over the female form. For this rare, early impression, Rembrandt carefully wiped the plate, leaving a thin layer of tone to unify the composition and enhance the effect of a fully rounded figure emerging from the shadowy background. The beige Japanese paper adds warmth and a special glow to her flesh. This beautiful print came from the holdings of the Duke of Devonshire at Chatsworth, one of the finest private collections of old master prints and drawings in the world.
