Old Man with a Divided Fur Cap is a 1640 by Rembrandt, a Baroque work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows an older man with a long white beard and a bushy fur cap pulled low over his forehead. His hands rest on his chest, and his fur-lined robe drapes loosely around him. The lines are loose and quick, with dark shading around his face and cap. The artist left the name "Rembrandt" in the corner—this is one of his early drawings. His loose strokes make the man look both serious and a little rough around the edges. Look up chiaroscuro to see how Rembrandt used light and shadow to create depth.
Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn (15 July 1606 – 4 October 1669), known mononymously as Rembrandt, was a Dutch Golden Age painter, printmaker, and draughtsman.
