Bald Man with Open Mouth, Looking Down is a 1630 ink by Rembrandt, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a bald man looking down, his mouth open as if speaking or shouting. His hair is drawn with quick, tangled lines, and the lines around his face are loose and rough. The paper has a slightly yellowed, aged look, with some smudges and uneven edges. The artist used a mix of etching and burin to create deep, dark lines that stand out against the light background. The technique makes the image feel both sharp and slightly fuzzy at the same time. Next, look up etching to see how this method works.
Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn (15 July 1606 – 4 October 1669), known mononymously as Rembrandt, was a Dutch Golden Age painter, printmaker, and draughtsman.
