Getting started with the collection:
Jan Six
Rembrandt van Rijn (mentioned on object), 1647
Rembrandt was befriended for some time with the well-to-do Jan Six, who later served as mayor of Amsterdam. He portrays him here in a highly informal manner, standing near an open window and reading a book. The detailed, skilful rendering of the dark room, in particular, is an unsurpassed feat in the art of etching.
