Bearded old man in a high fur cap, with eyes closed, c.1635. Creator: Rembrandt Harmensz van Rijn
Bearded old man in a high fur cap, with eyes closed, c.1635. Sunken shadows follow the old man's weathered face, undulating over his aged skin and full beard. He is depicted in a three-quarter profile, with his eyes closed, and appears a wise, introspective figure - the closed eyes convey thought and perhaps prayer rather than sleep

EDITORS COMMENTS
**A Timeless Moment of Contemplation**
In this black and white print, Dutch master Rembrandt Harmensz van Rijn (1606-1669) captures a poignant moment in the life of an elderly man. The bearded old gentleman sits serenely, his eyes closed as if lost in thought or prayer. His weathered face is illuminated by the subtle play of light and shadow, accentuating every crease and wrinkle.
The high fur cap that crowns his head adds a touch of dignity to this contemplative figure, while Rembrandt's masterful use of cross-hatching techniques creates an extraordinary level of depth and dimensionality. The overall effect is one of quiet introspection, as if the old man has momentarily stepped away from the world to reflect on life's mysteries.
This exquisite print, created around 1635 during Rembrandt's early years in Amsterdam, showcases his remarkable skill at capturing the essence of humanity through subtle expressions and nuanced lighting. It serves as a powerful reminder that even in our later years, we can still find moments of profound contemplation and connection with ourselves and the world around us.
