Description
Bust of an Old Bearded Man Looking Down, Three-Quarters Right is a 1631 etching by Rembrandt van Rijn. The sitter’s bowed head and full beard are described with concentrated etched lines, while the compact bust-length format keeps attention on the face and downward gaze.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art identifies this impression as the third state of three. Rembrandt’s close observation and economical mark-making give the small portrait a strong sense of weight, age, and introspection.
