This painting is called Self-Portrait of Rembrandt. It was made by Georg Friedrich Schmidt in 1771. The artist used etching on laid paper to create it, which is a technique that involves scratching a design into a metal plate, a process I don't fully understand. You can learn more about this technique at the National Gallery of Art, Washington, but I think it's more related to the technique of etching.
