    Hello,
    In the painting of Rembrandt : The apostle Peter. Do you know the name of the model ?
    I have a drawing signed R with a model looking like the model from the painting : The apostle Peter.
    Best regards

  • Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen answered

    Hi,
    I checked this with the curator, but he doesn't have this information at hand. What a next step might be is contacting bibliotheek@boijmans.nl. It is possible to request a list of the literature connected to a collection piece, so they might be able to give you a good starting point for further research.
    Best,
    Lisa
