The subject of the painting, often referred to as an "Old Jew," remains unidentified, but it is speculated that he could be a figure from Amsterdam's Jewish community, where Rembrandt lived and worked. This speculation is supported by the artist's known interactions and engagements with Jewish individuals and biblical themes throughout his career.

Rembrandt's mastery in the use of light and shadow, known as chiaroscuro, is prominently displayed in this work. The technique highlights the textures of the subject's skin and clothing, adding depth and realism to the portrayal.
