The purpose of this study is explore the various works by Rembrandt and another artists in his time. The domain that women managed, household was the small world, but it was not the dwarfish world. The women achieved the central role of seventeenth century Dutch genre painting. They are not evil women in the myth with a sacred woman either. They are the extremely ordinary women whom there is anywhere and painted lively. The seventeenth Dutch genre painting is superb in this point. The Dutch genre painting was freed from a role to explain religion and a myth and an allegory and is not pictured after life as they were, but made the human life by poetic imagination. The realism is the world that mind as the community produces and is the devices for people constituting a community to be able to receive specific reality. As a result, painting become the fiction which paints what is not in reality. Therefore, The meaning of an expressed image is not the thing which I can explain by the document texts such as the Bible and a myth or the fable throughout. In other words, it is expressed in the form that the mind (ethnicity, an ideology, the political nature, economy, social nature, gender) of the community is visible in painting. Therefore, "Dutchness" was expressed in the painting the trifling scene of everyday life that citizen became the leading role was painted.
