"The Goldsmith" is a notable etching by the Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn, created in 1655. Cataloged by Adam von Bartsch as Bartsch 123, by Christopher White and Karel G. Boon in the Hollstein series as Hollstein 123, by Arthur M. Hind as Hind 285, and by George Björklund and Osbert H. Barnard as Björklund & Barnard 55-D, this work is an exemplar of Rembrandt's skill in the medium of printmaking. The etching depicts a goldsmith or jeweler, engrossed in his work, with tools in hand and a magnifying glass affixed to his cap, a testament to the artist's attention to detail and his ability to capture the character and concentration of his subjects.

Measuring approximately 7.4 cm x 5.8 cm, "The Goldsmith" is one of Rembrandt's smaller etchings, yet it is rich in detail and texture, showcasing his mastery of light and shadow through the intricate play of lines. The composition is intimate, drawing the viewer into the quiet, contemplative space of the craftsman. The identity of the goldsmith is not definitively known, leading to speculation that it could be a portrait of a specific individual or a generalized representation of the profession.

"The Goldsmith" is a fine example of Rembrandt's middle period, a time when he was experimenting with different etching techniques and exploring a range of subjects, from biblical and mythological scenes to portraits and genre works. The etching is held in high regard for its technical proficiency and its ability to convey a narrative through a single, captured moment. It remains an important piece within Rembrandt's oeuvre and continues to be studied for its artistic and historical significance.

As a work of art from the 17th century, "The Goldsmith" is in the public domain, and its impressions can be found in various museum collections and as part of private collections around the world. The etching's enduring appeal lies in its universal depiction of craftsmanship and the timeless nature of skilled artisanry, themes that resonate with audiences across centuries.
