Self-portrait with bushy hair: bust c. 1631

This etching, created around 1631 by the Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn, is a self-portrait depicting the artist with a prominent, bushy hairstyle. The etching captures Rembrandt's youthful appearance, showcasing his signature use of chiaroscuro (contrast of light and dark) to create a sense of depth and volume in his self-portrait. The artwork, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, stands as a testament to Rembrandt's mastery of etching techniques and his ability to convey his own image with remarkable authenticity.
