The artist's son, Titus 1819

"The artist's son, Titus" is a 1819 etching by Ignace-Joseph de Claussin, a French artist working in the Netherlands. It features a portrait of Titus, the son of the renowned Dutch painter Rembrandt van Rijn. The etching is a close-up of Titus's face, emphasizing the delicate features and the softness of his youth. The image, currently held at the Rijksmuseum, showcases Claussin's skill in capturing a likeness, likely inspired by Rembrandt's own portraits of his son. The small size of the artwork, 115 mm by 84 mm, adds to its intimate character. This etching is a fine example of 19th-century portraiture and provides a glimpse into the artistic legacy of Rembrandt.
