The Man with a Cane (Fragment from the Hundred Guilder Print) is a 1649 ink by Rembrandt, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows two men standing close together. The one on the left wears a wide-brimmed hat, a loose robe, and holds a cane wrapped in straw. His face is wrinkled, and he looks down. The man on the right has a smaller hat and a chain dangling from his neck—maybe a purse or a key. His hand rests on the other man’s shoulder. The lines are scratchy and uneven, like the artist was working fast. This isn’t a polished painting but a rough drawing made with sharp tools.
