Portrait of a Man Sharpening His Quill, Rembrandt Circle, Dutch School, 17th century
Oil on canvas. Dimensions with frame: 88 × 74 cm. The composition depicts a seated man, dressed in a simple black suit and a wide white ruff, holding a goose quill that he is sharpening with a small knife. His serene, direct gaze establishes an immediate connection with the viewer, while the light highlights his face, hands, and writing implements, creating a striking chiaroscuro effect. Painted after a model by Rembrandt and attributed to his circle, the work reflects the characteristics of 17th-century Dutch Baroque painting, known for its naturalism, psychological depth, and mastery of light. The original of this composition is housed at the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister. The painting has been restored.
