Getting started with the collection:
Titus
Rembrandt van Rijn, c. 1656
This little etching, datable on stylistic grounds around 1656, shows Titus, the son of Rembrandt and Saskia, as a 15-year-old teenager. His father needed only a bare minimum of lines to portray him, and Titus’s shock of hair and pensive gaze are particularly striking. Rembrandt did not print this plate often, but, when he did, it was usually on special Japanese paper.
