Getting started with the collection:
Self-portrait, Etching at a Window
Rembrandt van Rijn (mentioned on object), 1648
While it might seem odd that Rembrandt is wearing a hat inside the house, it was actually part of his studio work clothes. This unadorned portrayal makes one almost forget the unparalleled technique he uses to create this effect. With a combination of etching and drypoint, he achieves an unprecedented painterly tonality.
