From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Lieven Willemsz van Coppenol: the Smaller Plate is a 1658 ink by Rembrandt, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting depicts a man sitting at a desk, holding a quill pen and writing on a piece of paper. He is dressed in dark clothing and has a serious expression on his face. To his right, another man is standing, looking over his shoulder. The scene is set in a dimly lit room with a window on the left side, allowing natural light to enter. The atmosphere is quiet and contemplative, with the two men focused on their work. This painting is a great example of the work of artist 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.
