Man Crying Out, Three-Quarters Left

Rembrandt van Rijn

National Gallery of Art

The image shows the upper body of a man, captured from about the shoulders up to the top of his head. He is positioned in a three-quarter profile, facing towards his left. The man has a prominent, curly beard and his facial features include a slightly hooked nose and a wide mouth. He is wearing a soft, flat cap that covers most of his hair, which appears to be curly as well. The man's clothing appears to be a loose garment, with a pattern suggesting texture or embroidery on the visible shoulder area. There are no visible jewelry or objects being held. The background of the image is plain, with no distinct features or items surrounding the figure.
