Bearded Man, in a Furred Oriental Cap and Robe: the Artist's Father

Rembrandt van Rijn

National Gallery of Art

The image shows the upper half of a man's body. His shoulders are turned slightly to the side while his face is directed towards the viewer. The man has a beard and a stern expression. He is wearing a large, furry hat that covers the top of his head, with his hair visible around his temples. He is dressed in clothing with a fur-lined collar. The background is plain, focusing on the subject. The artwork is in monochrome, featuring shading and cross-hatching for texture.
