A Young Man with a Chain c. 1629

This oil painting, created by Rembrandt van Rijn around 1629, is a portrait of a young man. The subject, depicted in an oval format, is shown in a three-quarter view, with a dark background that emphasizes his face and the intricate details of his attire. The young man's curly hair and the elegant chain he wears speak to his status and individuality. It is a prime example of Rembrandt's early work, showcasing his mastery of chiaroscuro and the dramatic use of light and shadow.
