Sketches of Heads and Figures
The image shows a sketch on aged paper featuring multiple sketches of heads and figures by Rembrandt. The paper has several cut edges and is yellowed with age. There are six sketches of heads and figures on the piece; a cherub-like figure with wings with arms crossed, another cherub to its right with an arm extended towards a figure with very long flowing hair; a head on the left side; another figure sitting on what appears to be a throne-like object; and at the top a figure on a horse with 3 heads looking on. The sketches are done in a sketchy line art style with much shading. The background is white.
