# Tronie of a Young Man [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [PAUDISS, Christoph]() - Date: 1651-1700 - Technique: Oil on panel, 97 x 80 cm ## Commentary For this tronie, Rembrandt's works were the principal source of inspiration for Paudiss, even after he had left the Netherlands. Tronies are representations of particular character types, such as soldiers, orientals, old men or young women. Rembrandt and Lievens had developed this particular genre into a trademark with their etchings and paintings of the late 1620s and 1630s. Characteristic of the present tronie is a reduced colour scheme with predominantly brown and grey tones. ## Related artworks - [Portrait of a Young Man in a Fur Hat]() - [Still-Life]() - [Still-Life with Beer, Herring and Pipe]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
