Portrait of a Man (possibly the poet Jan Harmensz Krul) 1633

Rembrandt van Rijn's "Portrait of a Man (possibly the poet Jan Harmensz Krul)" is a 1633 oil painting of an unidentified man. The sitter wears a black hat and coat, a wide white collar, and holds his right hand by his side. His serious expression is typical of the Dutch Golden Age, when portraits emphasized realism and social standing. The painting's subdued tones and chiaroscuro technique, characteristic of Rembrandt's early style, lend an air of introspective depth to the subject.
