Summary:YOUNG WOMAN BATHING IN A STREAM: REMBRANDT WAS QUITE STRAIGHT FORWARD WHEN IT CAME TO WOMEN. AFTER THE DEATH OF HIS FIRST WIFE, HE SIMPLY TOOK UP WITH THE HOUSEKEEPERS BROUGHT IN TO LOOK AFTER HIS SON. THEY ALSO MADE ECONOMICAL ARTIST'S MODELS. PEOPLE MIGHT COMPLAIN ABOUT HIM GIVING HIS BIBLICAL HEROINES, HIS NYMPHS AND GODDESSES, THE BODIES OF DUTCH CHAR WOMEN, BUT REMBRANDT FOUND THEM BEAUTIFUL. JOSEPH HELLER CHOOSES ONE OF HIS FAVOURITE OF REMBRANDT'S PAINTINGS OF WOMEN - THE SMALL, INTIMATE, UNTITLED PAINTING OF HIS THIRD WIFE BATHING IN A STREAM - AND EXPLORES ITS SUBTLE MAGIC.
