Old Man Seen from Behind, Profile to Right is a 1631 ink by Rembrandt, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The image depicts a man from behind, his profile visible to the right. He is attired in a fur-lined coat and hat, with his left hand resting on his hip. The etching is rendered in black ink on a beige background, with visible lines and shading that add depth to the figure. A notable detail is the intricate texture of the man's clothing, which appears to be made of fur. The etching technique used to create this image adds a sense of realism to the subject. This etching is a great example of the Baroque movement's emphasis on dramatic lighting and texture.
