Rembrandt Chooses a QueenRembrandt Chooses a Queen

"Samuel loves being an apprentice to Master Rembrandt...even though it seems like all he does is clean brushes. Even though his father doesn't approve of him studying anything but Jewish texts. One day Rembrandt declares, 'I need a new model.' The great artist is painting the biblical scene of Queen Esther confronting Haman, and his queen has just stormed out. He needs a model who captures Esther's spirit. Someone modest and kind. Someone vibrant and brave. Someone like Samuel's sister Isabel--if only they can convince their father to allow it."--
