Bald Man in a Fur Cloak

Rembrandt van Rijn and Studio of Rembrandt van Rijn

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an etching of an elderly man, depicted from the shoulders up. His body is turned slightly to the left, in a three-quarter view. The man has a weathered face with visible wrinkles on his forehead and around his eyes, a defined nose, and a downturned mouth. His hair is thinning, revealing balding. He wears a garment with a fur collar. There are no objects or jewelry around him. The background is intricately shaded, and there is a signature and the year "1631" in the upper left corner of the image.
