Self Portrait

The portrait shows Rembrandt seated in a three‑quarter pose, wearing a dark hat and a brown robe with a gold-embroidered collar, a white shirt at the neck, and a red sash across the waist; his right hand holds a staff while his left rests on a surface. The face is lit from the left, rendered in warm flesh tones, while the background recedes into deep shadow, creating a strong chiaroscuro effect. The painting exhibits the Dutch Baroque style, with thick, expressive brushwork on the clothing and a emphasis on volume, texture, and a contemplative, intimate presence.
