Ephraim Bonus is a 1647 ink by Rembrandt, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white print shows a man sitting on a chair with his hands resting on a piece of paper. He’s wearing a wide-brimmed hat, a ruffled collar, and a dark coat with buttons. Behind him, two tall columns and a dark wall create a simple background. The artist used fine lines to show the folds in his clothes and the texture of his hat. This style makes the portrait feel detailed even though it’s not painted. Look up etching, drypoint, burin to see how these tools create such sharp lines.
Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn (15 July 1606 – 4 October 1669), known mononymously as Rembrandt, was a Dutch Golden Age painter, printmaker, and draughtsman.
