Clement de Jonghe

Rembrandt van Rijn

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man sitting in a wooden chair, facing the viewer directly, covered by a large cloak. His head is slightly turned to one side, wearing a wide-brimmed hat. He has a straight nose, a slight mustache, and medium-length hair peeking out from under the hat. He wears a buttoned shirt with a wide collar beneath the cloak, with no visible jewelry or objects in his hands. The background is plain with sketch lines, emphasizing the subject in the chair.
