"God the Father Supported by Angels" is a pen and brown ink drawing by the Dutch master, Rembrandt van Rijn, created between 1655 and 1660. The work depicts God the Father, a bearded figure with a crown, supported by two angels, their wings indicated by sketchy lines. This drawing, signed "Rembrandt f," is a quick study, characterized by Rembrandt's signature loose, expressive style and the use of hatching to create depth and shadow. This intimate, small-scale artwork showcases Rembrandt's genius for capturing the divine through simple, yet powerful, lines and textures.
