"A Beggar Seated Warming His Hands at a Chafing Dish" is a notable etching by the Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn, created in approximately 1630. This work is part of a series of studies and prints that depict the lives of beggars and the impoverished in the Dutch Republic during the 17th century. Rembrandt, known for his profound empathy towards the human condition, often portrayed the marginalized segments of society with dignity and a sense of individuality.

The etching measures 125 by 95 mm and is executed on a small plate, showcasing Rembrandt's skill in handling fine details and his mastery of light and shadow, even on such a modest scale. The image captures a solitary figure, huddled over a chafing dish, a portable receptacle for burning coal or charcoal, which was used for heating or cooking. The beggar's posture and the attention to the textures of his ragged clothing highlight Rembrandt's ability to convey a narrative through gesture and fabric alone.

This work is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its social commentary. Rembrandt's choice to depict a beggar in a sympathetic light was somewhat unconventional for the time and reflects his humanistic approach to art. The etching is also an example of Rembrandt's exploration of chiaroscuro, the contrast between light and dark, which he would continue to develop throughout his career.

"A Beggar Seated Warming His Hands at a Chafing Dish" is held in various collections and has been the subject of scholarly study for its technical and thematic elements. It remains an important piece within Rembrandt's oeuvre, offering insight into the artist's social consciousness and his enduring fascination with the human experience.
