Portret van Rembrandt van Rijn 1882

This 1882 etching by Charles Albert Waltner depicts a portrait of Rembrandt van Rijn, the famous Dutch painter. Rembrandt is portrayed in a characteristically dark and dramatic fashion, with his face illuminated by a single light source. He is dressed in a dark coat with a fur collar and a black hat, which gives the image a sense of gravity and intensity. The artist's signature, "C. Waltner", appears in the bottom right corner of the print, adding to the realism of the piece. This artwork, with its chiaroscuro effects and emphasis on detail, is a testament to the enduring power of Rembrandt's legacy and Waltner's skill as a printmaker.
