Clement de Jonghe is a 1651 ink by Rembrandt, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a man in a big hat and a loose coat, sitting with one arm resting on a chair. The lines are scratchy and dark, like they were drawn with a sharp tool. His face looks thoughtful, and the folds of his clothes are drawn with quick, uneven strokes. The artist used a mix of etching, drypoint, and burin—three techniques that create different textures in the lines. This was a common way to make detailed prints in the 1600s. Check out etching, drypoint, aquatint to see how these methods work.
Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn (15 July 1606 – 4 October 1669), known mononymously as Rembrandt, was a Dutch Golden Age painter, printmaker, and draughtsman.
