Getting started with the collection:
Old Man with a Flowing Beard
Rembrandt van Rijn (mentioned on object), 1631
In these prints, Rembrandt studies the characteristics of age, always portraying the same full-bearded man. While slight differences can certainly be discerned, Rembrandt’s penchant for depicting his models while they look down, their heads slightly bent, is striking. This pose lends the studies a melancholy air.
