"Zelfportret van Claude-Henri Watelet als Jan Six" is an etching by Claude Henri Watelet, a French artist, writer, and art collector. This self-portrait, created between 1735 and 1786, shows Watelet in a pose referencing the famous self-portrait of Rembrandt, "Self-Portrait as Jan Six," in which Rembrandt uses chiaroscuro to enhance the dramatic effect. Watelet's etching, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a small work, measuring just 244 mm in height and 188 mm in width.
