Portrait of Jan Willemsz van der Pluym is a 1635 unspecified by Unknown, a Dutch Golden Age work, held at Rijksmuseum.
This is a small portrait of an old man with a white beard, wearing a dark coat and a wide-brimmed hat. His face is lined, and his eyes look tired but kind. The painting is tiny—just a few inches tall—and was likely made as a favor for a friend or family member. It’s loose and quick, not polished like formal portraits. The artist didn’t sign it, but experts think it might be by Rembrandt, given the style and the subject’s connection to Leiden. To see more paintings like this, visit the Rijksmuseum.
