Rembrandt, Self-Portrait

Richard Earlom after Rembrandt van Rijn

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a portrait of a person with the upper half of their body visible, positioned slightly turned to the right and looking directly at the viewer. The person has a furrowed brow, deep-set eyes, a pronounced nose, and a slightly pursed mouth. They have curly white hair extending from a dark hat. The person wears a dark coat lined with fur, revealing fur near their shoulder and arm, over a high-collared shirt. Their arms are crossed in front of them. The background is a uniform dark tone that contrasts with their lighter complexion, highlighting the details of their face and clothing. There is no visible jewelry or objects being held by the person.
