From the collection of National Gallery of Art
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 face. He’s wearing a dark, buttoned shirt with a high collar and a ruffled cuff. Behind him, a window with small panes lets in dim light, and the wall looks rough and textured. The artist used sharp lines to show the folds in his clothes and the shadows on his face. This style was common in etchings, where the plate holds ink in grooves to create the image. Next, look up etching to see how artists like Rembrandt made these detailed prints.
Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn (15 July 1606 – 4 October 1669), known mononymously as Rembrandt, was a Dutch Golden Age painter, printmaker, and draughtsman.
