Prints & Multiples
13.5 x 10.5 cm (5.31 x 4.13 in)
etching
Ex-collection A. P. F. Robert-Dumesnil (Lugt 2200, verso)
Ambroise Firmin-Didot (Lugt 119, verso)
R. Fussli & Cie (Lugt 1008, verso)
and Paul Mathey (Lugt 2100b, verso). A brilliant, richly-inked and early impression with no signs of wear, with crisp, partially inky plate edges, with the patch of tone slightly above and to the left of the "R" in the signature and with touches of burr in the curls of hair just beneath the cap at the right, consistent with the earliest impressions of this subject. Rembrandt etched some 30 self portraits, with 27 singular images of himself and several others of himself in different guises or grouped with other portrait studies. This self portrait, at the age of 27, created two years after he had moved to Amsterdam from Leyden to establish himself as a successful (and independent) artist, and months before he married Saskia van Uylenburgh, is perhaps Rembrandt's most introspective self portrait. The dark shading covering much of his face (which rapidly disappears in later impressions), the deep-set eyes and his quiet, hunched pose lend him an almost shy, reserved appearance, which is markedly different from the proud, bright, frontal poses of his self portraits from the mid-to late-1630s (see lots 124 and 133).
