Abstract

Stylistically, this painting is so far removed from Rembrandt that we initially considered omitting it from the Corpus. However, once it became demonstrably clear, during the completion of this book, that the painting must have originated in Rembrandt’s workshop, it fulfilled a crucial role — together with the closely related work in the Fogg Art Museum in Cambridge, Mass. (IV 22) — in our development of an understanding of the origin of ‘self- portraits’ that are not thought to be autograph works by Rembrandt but which nevertheless must have been painted before his eyes.
