Jacob Haaringh ('Young Haaringh') (Pieter Haaringh) is a 1655 ink by Rembrandt, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a young man with curly hair and a serious expression. He’s wearing a dark, buttoned-up collar with a ruffled cuff, and his face is lit from the side, leaving most of his hair in shadow. Behind him, a window with bars lets in faint light, and a chair arm peeks into the frame. This is an etching, which means the artist scratched lines into a metal plate to create the image. The texture of the hair and fabric shows how Rembrandt used different tools to add depth. Next, check out etching to see how artists like Rembrandt made prints like this.
