Jan Six is a 1647 ink by Rembrandt, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching depicts a man standing in a room, holding a book and looking down at it. He is dressed in dark clothing and has long, curly hair. The room is dimly lit, with a window on the right side that lets in some light. There is a chair in the corner of the room with a stack of books on it. The man's facial expression is one of contemplation, as if he is deeply engrossed in the book he is reading. The overall atmosphere of the etching is one of quiet introspection. The artist's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the etching. For more information on the technique used to create this piece, look up etching.
