«De schilder en het meisje» is the historical novel by Margriet de Moor, published by De Bezige Bij in paperback (253 pages, in Dutch).
Set in Amsterdam in 1664, the novel interweaves the story of Elsje Christiaens, a young Danish woman who travels from Jutland to the city, with that of the painter Rembrandt, who faces the death of his wife. A drawing and a public execution end up uniting their destinies in a silent encounter.
The work was originally published in 2010 and is inspired by a real event in which Rembrandt drew Elsje Christiaens.
For readers of historical fiction and art fiction, with an interest in seventeenth-century Amsterdam and the figure of Rembrandt.
