This etching, created by Nicolaes van Haeften between 1673 and 1715, is a portrait of a man, possibly Harmen Gerritsz. van Rijn. The image is a close-up of the man's face, with a feathered hat and a chain with a pendant visible. The etching is signed "Rembr. Pinx." indicating Rembrandt as the original painter, and "V. Haeften fecit," signifying van Haeften as the etcher. This work is an example of portraiture, a common genre in 17th century Dutch art, and reflects the popularity of Rembrandt's works during this period.
