Self-Portrait with Beret ☴ Rembrandt ☷ Canvas celestial and rainbow of color openSelf Portrait with Beret and Turned Up Collar (1659) by Rembrandt van Rijn is one of over 40 self portraits he created. Rembrandt is seated, wearing a fur cloak, his hands clasped in his lap. His face is well lit with detailed brushwork, while his hands are in shadowed, blurred brushstrokes. It is noted as a self portrayal in which one can see "the stresses and strains of a life compounded of creative triumphs and personal and financial reverses."
