Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn was a Dutch Baroque painter and printmaker, widely regarded as one of the greatest visual artists in the history of art. His exceptional ability to render people in various moods and dramatic guises earned him a prominent place in art history.

Condition report:
The condition is quite wonderful for it\'s age with 2 small cracks in the wood panel which we photographed with light behind it but does not show when hung, some very small loss of paint to the side where it probably had a smaller frame. The painting is in very nice condition and far as we were told had recently been professionally cleaned and there does not appear to be any major restoration work done
