Rembrandt is seated, wearing a fur cloak, his hands clasped in his lap. His face is well lit with detailed brushwork, while his hands are in shadowed, blurred brushstrokes. It is noted as a self portrayal in which one can see "the stresses and strains of a life compounded of creative triumphs and personal and financial reverses."
