Man Crying Out, Three-Quarters Left is a 1630 ink by Rembrandt, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a man turned slightly away, his head tilted down as if in pain. His face is blurred, but you can see his hat and a long scarf wrapped around his neck. The lines are loose and quick, like the artist was working fast. The rough edges and dark shading give the image a raw, emotional feel. This is an etching, which means the artist scratched into a metal plate to create the lines. Next, look up etching to see how this technique works.
Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn (15 July 1606 – 4 October 1669), known mononymously as Rembrandt, was a Dutch Golden Age painter, printmaker, and draughtsman.
