"Abraham Francen, Apothecary" is a 17th-century portrait etching by the Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn, depicting Abraham Francen, a pharmacist in Amsterdam with whom Rembrandt had a personal and professional relationship. Created in 1657, this work is one of Rembrandt's later etchings and reflects his mature style, characterized by a rich tonal range and intricate detail. The etching is noted for its intimate portrayal of Francen, who is shown within the context of his apothecary, surrounded by the tools of his trade. This suggests a dual purpose of the work, serving both as a personal likeness and as a representation of Francen's professional identity.

The etching is executed on a relatively small scale, typical of Rembrandt's portrait etchings, and is highly valued for its technical proficiency and the insight it provides into the social network of one of the most influential artists of the Dutch Golden Age. Rembrandt's relationship with Francen was not merely professional; Francen was also a patron and a collector of Rembrandt's work, which adds a layer of personal significance to the portrait.

"Abraham Francen, Apothecary" is held in high esteem among Rembrandt's printed oeuvre and is included in many major collections of his works around the world. It serves as a testament to Rembrandt's skill in etching, a medium in which he was particularly innovative, and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects with empathy and depth. The etching is a valuable resource for understanding the cultural and social milieu of 17th-century Amsterdam, as well as the relationships that shaped Rembrandt's career and the patrons who supported his art.
