From LinkedCulture
This small etching captures an elderly man's weathered face with almost uncomfortable closeness, his heavy-lidded eyes and deeply lined cheeks built up through dense cross-hatching and fine incised marks. A close-fitting cap and loosely draped collar frame the figure, while a monogram at the upper left hints at a publisher's hand in its making. Attributed to Rembrandt van Rijn in seventeenth-century Netherlands, this print shows how he transformed the study of ordinary old faces into some of the most copied works of his era.
