A sensitive innocent, Hendrickje Stoffels escapes the harsh realities of her garrison home-town to take up a servant''s role in Rembrandt''s household. She soon becomes his lover and closest confidante, and plays witness to the highs and lows of the great artist''s life.

But Hendrickje is fated to discover the hypocrisy and greed of society in Amsterdam''s Golden Age.

In sensuous prose, Matton paints a powerful fictional portrait of this impassioned relationship through the eyes of a remarkable woman.
