Cornelis Claesz Anslo is a 1641 ink by Rembrandt, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white drawing of a man in a wide-brimmed hat and a fur-lined coat. He’s sitting in a chair, holding a piece of paper and a pair of scissors. A book lies open on the armrest beside him, and his chair has a high back with a curved top. The drawing looks rough around the edges, with visible lines and shading that give it texture. This style was a way to create depth and detail without color. Next, check out how the artist used etching, drypoint, aquatint.
Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn (15 July 1606 – 4 October 1669), known mononymously as Rembrandt, was a Dutch Golden Age painter, printmaker, and draughtsman.
