Painting Description
"A Bald-headed Man In Profile Right; Small Bust; The Artist's Father (?)" (Bartsch number 294; H. 24) is an etching attributed to the Dutch master Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn, commonly known as Rembrandt. Created during the artist's prolific period, this work is part of Rembrandt's extensive oeuvre of etchings that explore human expression, character studies, and portraiture. The etching is notable for its intimate portrayal of a bald-headed man, believed by some to be Rembrandt's father, Harmen Gerritszoon van Rijn, although this identification remains speculative.
The etching is executed with the fine line and attention to detail characteristic of Rembrandt's prints, capturing the texture of the man's skin and the softness of his gaze. The subject is depicted in profile to the right, with the upper torso included, hence the description "small bust." The work exemplifies Rembrandt's skill in using light and shadow to create depth and dimensionality, a technique that contributes to the psychological intensity of his portraits.
As with many of Rembrandt's etchings, the precise date of creation is uncertain, but it is generally placed within the artist's middle period, which is marked by a deepening of his engagement with the human condition and a mastery of etching techniques. The print is part of a larger body of work that has been extensively studied for its artistic and historical significance, contributing to our understanding of Rembrandt's approach to portraiture and his influence on the art of etching.
The etching is cataloged in the Bartsch and Hollstein catalogues, which are authoritative sources for Rembrandt's printed works. The Bartsch number (294) and Hollstein number (H. 24) serve as reference points for scholars and collectors. The work is held in various collections and has been exhibited in museums around the world, offering insight into the enduring legacy of Rembrandt's artistry.
