These introspective works reveal a complex quest for identity that is tied to the growth of individualism in seventeenth-century Holland. In these two etchings, which date from Rembrandt’s first decade in Amsterdam, he dons a luxurious, old-fashioned costume—selected from his large collection of studio props—to fashion himself as an imagined Renaissance monarch or courtier. In doing so, he set himself apart from conventional self-portraiture, which featured contemporary gentlemanly attire, at a time when he was intent on establishing himself as a successful portraitist and virtuoso artist.","remarks":"K1-3 rotation, see also x1949-229"}],"datebegin":1634,"sortnumber":"1970   66x","published_date":"2026-03-25 09:31:17.630932","objectid":11660,"dimensions":"plate: 12.4 x 10.2 cm.
