Man Crying Out

Rembrandt van Rijn, c. 1629

Another five small depictions of men’s heads, but this time it is certain that they did not originate as independent prints. Originally, they were all on the same copperplate. After Rembrandt cut up the plate, he completed each print individually. This working method was unusual and characterizes Rembrandt as an artist who often strayed off the beaten path.
