Gebaarde oude man met hoge bontmuts en gesloten ogen Possibly 1632 - 1808

This etching, “Gebaarde oude man met hoge bontmuts en gesloten ogen,” was created by Rembrandt van Rijn, a Dutch master of the Baroque era. The artwork depicts a close-up portrait of an elderly man, his face partially obscured by a large fur hat. The subject's eyes are closed, creating an air of contemplation or introspective thought. Rembrandt's masterful use of line and shading evokes a sense of depth and texture, conveying the subject's age and character. This etching, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies Rembrandt's exploration of human emotion and the expressive power of portraiture.
