"Self Portrait in a Velvet Cap with Plume" is an etching by the Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn, created in 1638 during the artist's middle period, which is often considered the height of his career. This work, catalogued as Bartsch 20, Hind 156, and Biörklund and Barnard 38-B, showcases Rembrandt's skill in the medium of printmaking, a field in which he was as innovative and influential as he was in painting.

The etching measures approximately 13.5 x 10.3 cm and features the artist himself adorned in attire that was not typical of his day-to-day life but was instead reminiscent of the fashion from a century earlier. This choice of dress may have been an artistic device to evoke the style of old masters, aligning himself with the great artists of the past. The velvet cap and the plume add a touch of drama and nobility to his appearance, suggesting a conscious construction of his self-image.

In this self-portrait, Rembrandt's mastery of etching is evident in the rich tonal variations, the intricate detail of the facial features, and the lively expression captured within the medium's constraints. The work is characterized by a dynamic interplay of light and shadow, a technique that Rembrandt employed to great effect throughout his oeuvre to create depth and volume.

"Self Portrait in a Velvet Cap with Plume" is significant not only as a work of art but also as a personal statement by Rembrandt. It is one of many self-portraits that he produced throughout his lifetime, which together form a deeply introspective and autobiographical series that allows viewers to trace the evolution of his style and his self-representation.

The etching is held in various collections around the world and has been the subject of scholarly study as part of Rembrandt's extensive body of self-portraits. It continues to be admired for its technical brilliance and its intimate glimpse into the artist's self-perception and identity.
