The woman looks over her shoulder to see who is intruding on her while she bathes in the woods. Half concealed by her clothing on the bank is a quiver, the attribute of Diana, goddess of the hunt. Here, too, Rembrandt was not seeking a classical ideal of beauty, but remained true to his own manner of working.
