Jan Asselijn

Rembrandt van Rijn

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an upper body portrait of a seated man turned slightly to the side, but facing forward. He has long, curly hair that falls past his shoulders and a slight mustache, with defined facial features visible in the etching. He is wearing a wide-brimmed hat and a dark cloak over a tunic that features a white collar with lace cuffs. His right hand rests on a book that is part of a small stack placed on a table in front of him, which includes a few other books and papers. The background is plain.
