# Self-Portrait, in 17th-century Netherlands

Rembrandt van Rijn painted this in 1660, aged 54. It is now at The Met in New York.

Our note:

> Rembrandt, at fifty-four, looks out at us with a steady, weary gaze, wearing a dark beret and a plain coat, his face built up in thick, mottled paint that records every fold and blemish.
