About this work

Rembrandt Laughing is a painting dated 1628. It was made by the Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn using oil on copper. The work is a tronie—a study of a laughing face. Because it shows the artist himself, it counts as one of more than 40 self‑portraits Rembrandt painted, and it is probably the earliest elaborate example of that kind. Look for it at the museum: J. Paul Getty Museum.
