Self-Portrait Drawing at a Window

Rembrandt van Rijn

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a black and white drawing of a man sitting by a window. The man wears a dark, wide-brimmed hat and a dark jacket. He sits at a table with his arms resting on it. On the table in front of him is an open book with a pencil resting on the pages. The man looks directly out of the image. To his left is a window with a view of buildings outside. The room is dimly lit, with the man in shadow and the window providing natural light. The drawing is on a beige background with a slightly darker border around the edges. The overall style is detailed with cross-hatching.
