The Golf Player is a 1654 ink by Rembrandt, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows two men playing golf. One stands holding a club, looking down at a ball on the ground. The other sits on a bench, leaning forward with a bag over his shoulder. The scene looks like a quiet moment in a park, with trees and a fence in the background. Notice how the artist used quick, loose lines to show movement and light. The faces and clothes aren’t detailed, but the energy of the scene comes through in the way the lines twist and overlap. Check out the technique: etching to see how artists like this create prints with acid and metal plates.
Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn (15 July 1606 – 4 October 1669), known mononymously as Rembrandt, was a Dutch Golden Age painter, printmaker, and draughtsman.
