Rijksmuseum

Jonge man, zittend op de grond met één been uitgestrekt

Date: 1646
Medium: paper
Institution: Rijksmuseum

This study originated during one of Rembrandt’s lessons for his pupils. Rembrandt sketched the model from life directly on the copperplate, while his students also drew him on paper, each from a different angle. Afterwards, Rembrandt worked the plate anew, intensifying the shadows with the aid of a burin.
