Untitled
1650
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Untitled is a 1650 by Rembrandt, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This black-and-white print shows a lion lying down, its head turned slightly to the side. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to capture the fur’s texture and the animal’s relaxed pose. The background is simple, with just a few faint marks to suggest the ground. The lion’s mane and whiskers are drawn with careful detail, making it look almost real. This print was made by etching, a technique where the artist scratches into metal before inking it. Look up *chiaroscuro* to see how light and shadow create depth in prints like this.
