Self-Portrait in Velvet Cap with Plume is a 1638 by Rembrandt, a Baroque work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This is a black-and-white drawing of a man with a thick beard and curly hair. He wears a fancy velvet cap with a feather sticking out. His clothing has detailed patterns, and he holds a folded cloth in his left hand. The feather in his hat looks real, adding a touch of drama. This is a self-portrait, so it’s the artist showing off his own style. Next, check out chiaroscuro to see how light and shadow 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.
