Rembrandt's Head by Himself is a 1758 ink by Thomas Worlidge, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a portrait of a man with a fuzzy hat and a dark jacket adorned with buttons and a chain. The man's face is the main focus, with his hair and clothing taking up most of the space. The background is a light color, which helps the subject stand out. The man's expression is serious, and his eyes seem to be looking directly at the viewer. The level of detail in the portrait is impressive, with the texture of the man's hair and clothing visible. The portrait is a great example of the artist's skill in capturing the subtleties of human expression.
