The Artist in his Studio

The Artist in his Studio is the title of an oil painting on panel created by Rembrandt in 1629. The Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, Massachusetts currently holds the painting. The painting depicts an artist standing on the left side of his studio, gazing at an easel on the right side of his studio. The artist is notably standing across the room from the easel, which is turned away from the viewer. The artist's studio depicted in the painting is likely Rembrandt's own studio. Scholars have debated whether the artist represents Rembrandt himself or his student, Gerrit Dou.^{: 120–121} Rembrandt did not sign his work, but art historians are confident in attributing this work to him because its color scheme and technique resemble those of other works by Rembrandt during this period.^{: 210–211}
