From The Burrell Collection, Glasgow:
Rembrandt van Rijn was 26 years old when he created this self-portrait. Painted with a polish and refinement unseen in earlier self-portraits, his pale face is half-covered in the shadow of a wide-brimmed hat, and he wears a rich, black velvet cloak with gold buttons, capped by a fashionable white ruff. There is no indication of Rembrandt’s occupation as an artist in this portrait; we seem to be simply looking at a fashionable young man proudly displaying his wealth and status.
