Self-Portrait with Saskia is a 1636 ink by Rembrandt, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows two people sitting close together. The person on the left looks calm, with soft lines around their face. The person on the right has a beard and curly hair, drawn with quick, rough strokes. Their hands rest on each other’s shoulders. The artist used shading to show depth, making the faces stand out against the light background. The lines are loose and expressive, not perfectly smooth.
