Lieven Willemsz van Coppenol: the Larger Plate is a 1658 ink by Rembrandt, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting is a portrait of a man, depicted from the chest up. He wears a dark jacket and a white collar, with a dark hat on his head. His facial expression is neutral, and he looks directly at the viewer. The man's face is rendered in fine detail, with deep lines and wrinkles etched into his skin. His eyes are cast downward slightly, giving him a introspective appearance. The background of the painting is dark and muted, which helps to draw attention to the subject's face. The level of detail and realism in this portrait is impressive, and it showcases the artist's skill with etching and drypoint techniques. To learn more about the artist's use of these techniques, look up Rembrandt van Rijn.
Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn (15 July 1606 – 4 October 1669), known mononymously as Rembrandt, was a Dutch Golden Age painter, printmaker, and draughtsman.
