Samuel Manasseh Ben Israel is a 1636 by Rembrandt, a Baroque work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a bearded man in a wide-brimmed hat and a ruffled collar. His face is serious, with deep shadows under his eyes and along his beard. The drawing is mostly black and white, with quick, rough lines. The artist focused on the man’s wrinkles and the texture of his clothes. This was made in 1636 by Rembrandt, who often drew portraits like this. Look up chiaroscuro to see how light and shadow create drama in art.
Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn (15 July 1606 – 4 October 1669), known mononymously as Rembrandt, was a Dutch Golden Age painter, printmaker, and draughtsman.
