Faust is a 1652 ink by Rembrandt, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching depicts a man standing in a dimly lit room, gazing out a large window. The man wears a turban and a long robe, and he stands beside a table with a book and papers on it. The window is divided into many small panes, and a bright light shines through it, casting a glow on the man's face. In the foreground, the table and papers are rendered in fine detail, with intricate lines and textures that suggest the artist's skill with the etching medium. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation, as if the man is lost in thought as he gazes out the window.
