Bell’esemplare.Bell’autoritratto frontale di Rembrandt. Rijksmuseum: “Rembrandt was fascinated by the effects of light. This is also clear in his etchings, for instance in these diminutive self-portraits in which his face is mostly half cast in shadow. In the version with a fur cap, we can see that this head covering was added only at a later stage. He began the etching with a bare head: his hair is still visible through the cap.”BB 29-1; B 4; H. 2A; Bl 208; M 42. https://www.rijksmuseum.nl/en/collection/RP-P-OB-5.
