Self-Portrait Leaning on a Stone Sill

Rembrandt van Rijn

Cleveland Museum of Art

A man with long curly hair and a hat sits on a stone sill, leaning on it with his left arm. He wears a large hat with a curved brim and a coat with a high collar and a cloak over it. The drawing is in shades of gray on a beige background. The man looks towards the viewer with a subtle expression. A signature and the year '1639' are visible in the upper-left corner. The drawing is detailed with closely spaced lines used for shading. The composition is simple, with the man on the left side and empty space on the right. The edges of the paper are visible.
