Thomas Haaringh is a 1655 by Rembrandt, a Baroque work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a serious-looking man in his 50s or 60s. He’s sitting in a chair, dressed in a dark, heavy coat with a white collar and cuffs. His hands rest on his lap, and he’s looking straight ahead with a slight frown. Behind him, a window with small panes lets in dim light, and the walls are plain, with a curtain to one side. The artist used deep shadows and light to make the face stand out sharply. The textures—like the folds in the coat or the smoothness of the collar—are drawn with careful lines. Look up chiaroscuro next to see how this lighting trick works.
Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn (15 July 1606 – 4 October 1669), known mononymously as Rembrandt, was a Dutch Golden Age painter, printmaker, and draughtsman.
