# Self-Portrait [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [REMBRANDT Harmenszoon van Rijn]() - Date: 1601-1650 - Technique: Oil on panel, 71 x 55 cm ## Commentary This painting is not included in the Bredius catalogue. In this self-portrait the artist depicted himself with shaded eyes. In a number of self-portraits of the early Amsterdam period Rembrandt poses and dresses himself in the same dignified, somewhat distanced air as the merchant sitters of his portraits. Like most of his sitters, he shows no attributes of his occupation. ## Related artworks - [A black drummer and commander mounted on mules; riding in profile]() - [A child being taught to walk]() - [A cottage beneath trees]() - [A girl sleeping]() - [A Man Laughing]() - [A man making water]() - [A Peddler Selling Spectacles \(The Allegory of Sight\)]() - [A Polish Nobleman]() - [A Scholar]() - [A two-humped camel]() - [A woman in Zeeland costume, from the back]() - [A woman in Zeeland costume, from the front]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
