A vertically oriented etching and drypoint in black ink on cream paper depicts Rembrandt, a man with a light skin tone, mustache, and long, curly hair. Shaded with fine cross-hatching, he wears a dark beret and heavy, fur-trimmed cloak with voluminous sleeves. Facing right but looking toward us, he leans an arm on a stone sill. Handwritten text in the upper left corner reads "Rembrandt f. 1639."
