クリスティーズさんのインスタグラム写真 - (クリスティーズInstagram)「Few other artists depicted themselves as regularly and with such variety and psychological insight as Rembrandt van Rijn.⠀ .⠀ Rembrandt painted himself before the mirror on at least forty occasions, and etched no fewer than 32 self-portraits in a career that stretched over three decades.⠀ .⠀ These works, in which the artist depicted himself shouting, laughing or frowning, not only demonstrate his virtuosity as a portraitist but also his acute emotional sensibility and power of observation.⠀ .⠀ The present small, almost stamp-size self-portrait was created c. 1634 when the artist was 28 years old.⠀ .⠀ The artist focuses solely on his youthful face, wearing a soft cap whose rim falls over his long, curly hair caressing his neck. His gaze is firm and steadfast, but there is a good-natured, confident, perhaps slightly mocking twinkle in his eyes.⠀ .⠀ Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn (1606-1669), 'Self-Portrait with a soft Cap', etching, c.1634. Estimate: £15,000-£25,000.⠀ .⠀ Old Master Prints — 19 - 28 January, online.⠀ .⠀ #Rembrandt #selfportrait #portrait #print #etching #oldmasterprints #rareprints #printmaking #Europeanprintmaking #Dutchart #goldenage」1月19日 20時52分
