"Self-portrait in a Heavy Fur Cap: Bust" (Bartsch, Hollstein 16; Hind 56) is an etching by the renowned Dutch artist Rembrandt van Rijn, created in 1631. This work is one of the many self-portraits that Rembrandt produced throughout his prolific career, showcasing his exceptional skill in capturing the human visage and his deep interest in self-exploration through art. The etching depicts Rembrandt in a bust-length pose, adorned in a heavy fur cap that adds a sense of gravitas and introspection to his expression.

Rembrandt's self-portraits are celebrated for their psychological depth and technical mastery, and this particular etching is no exception. The artist's use of chiaroscuro, the contrast between light and dark, is evident in the way he renders the textures of the fur cap and the subtle play of light on his face. This technique not only highlights his features but also imbues the portrait with a sense of three-dimensionality and realism.

The etching is part of a broader tradition of self-portraiture in Rembrandt's oeuvre, where he often used his own likeness to experiment with different expressions, costumes, and lighting effects. This practice allowed him to refine his skills and explore various aspects of human emotion and identity. The heavy fur cap in this etching is particularly notable, as it suggests a sense of warmth and protection, possibly reflecting Rembrandt's own state of mind or the socio-economic conditions of the time.

"Self-portrait in a Heavy Fur Cap: Bust" is cataloged as number 16 in Adam von Bartsch's comprehensive list of Rembrandt's etchings, as well as in the Hollstein and Hind catalogues, which are key references for scholars and collectors of Rembrandt's prints. The etching remains a significant work within Rembrandt's extensive body of self-portraits, offering insight into his artistic process and the evolving nature of his self-representation.
