This unfinished print suggests a behind-the-scenes look at an artist at work. A model holds her pose while the artist, possibly Rembrandt himself, hunches over his sketch in the background. An easel with a fresh canvas sits behind him. This print illustrates his commitment to making observations from life. Because Rembrandt frequently worked from models yet rarely depicted artists working from models, many believe Rembrandt had intended the print to be more than a genre scene. It was erroneously given the title, "Pygmalion," in the 18th century. It also has been titled, "Allegory of the Glorification of Drawing," where the model functions as a classical muse of inspiration and the embodiment of Fame and Truth in art symbolised by the palm leaf in the her right hand.
