From the collection of Mauritshuis
Portrait of Rembrandt with a gorget is a 1629 oil by Unknown, a Dutch Golden Age work, depicting Collar, held at Mauritshuis.
The painting is a portrait of a young man with wavy hair and a serious expression. He wears a dark jacket with a white collar and a gorget around his neck. The man's face is illuminated, while the background is dark, creating a sense of depth. The brushstrokes are visible, giving the painting a textured look. The use of chiaroscuro, a technique that uses strong contrasts between light and dark, adds to the dramatic effect of the portrait. The artist's use of impasto, applying thick layers of paint, also gives the painting a sense of depth and dimension.
