## Commentary

The powerful sense of drama and illumination that characterizes Rembrandt&#39;s portraits is also a feature of his Leiden colleague Jan Lievens, with whom Rembrandt was in close contact. Both painters experimented with sources of artificial light, which created interesting reflections and shadows. In the case of this painting it is assumed that the model was the painter himself.
