Self-Portrait, Frowning

Rembrandt van Rijn

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an etching of a male subject from the shoulders up. The subject is facing slightly to the right, with his head turned towards the viewer. His facial features are distinct, with deep-set eyes, a pronounced nose, and lips, framed by curly hair falling around his face and neck. He wears a heavy, textured cloak or garment draping over his shoulders. The background is plain and unadorned.
