A young man wears a painter's cap and laughs cheerfully at us. He's probably Rembrandt, but this painting isn't a formal portrait. It's thought to be by a pupil in Rembrandt's Leiden workshop, which is interesting because Rembrandt often used his own face to practice expressions. The pupil likely learned from Rembrandt's techniques, like using light and shadow to create depth. Check out the Rijksmuseum to learn more about this painting and its history.
