Sketch and study
Rembrandt's Artist in His Studio, an Baroque oil painting on panel from 1629, is housed at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. It depicts an artist standing on the left, intently gazing at an easel on the right, which is turned away from the viewer, suggesting a moment of sketch and study. Likely representing Rembrandt himself or his student Gerrit Dou, the scene offers a candid view of the artist’s studio, possibly Rembrandt's own. While unsigned, its color and technique align with other works from this period, leading scholars to confidently attribute it to Rembrandt.
