Portret van Rembrandt met hoed met slappe rand en geborduurde mantel 1776 - 1844

This etching, created by Ignace-Joseph de Claussin between 1776 and 1844, depicts a portrait of Rembrandt van Rijn, the famed Dutch painter, wearing a hat and a richly embroidered coat. The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, captures Rembrandt in a close-up, focusing on his serious expression and detailed features. The fine lines and intricate textures of Claussin's etching technique render the subject's clothing and the delicate features of Rembrandt's face with remarkable precision. This piece is a testament to the enduring legacy of Rembrandt, as seen through the eyes of a later artist, and is a fine example of 19th-century portraiture.
