This etching, "Rembrandt with long bushy hair: head only", is one of Rembrandt's earliest self-portraits, created in 1631, when the artist was only 25 years old. The print captures the artist's youthful face with a focus on his thick, curly hair and a subtle, pensive expression, showcasing his mastery of line and detail, and the technical skills that would become the hallmark of his later work. This small print is an important example of Rembrandt's exploration of self-portraiture.
