About the piece
In this 1631 masterpiece, Rembrandt van Rijn explores costume and identity, depicting himself in a regal 'oriental' ensemble of shimmering silk and deep furs. The dramatic use of chiaroscuro highlights the artist's confident expression and the textured fur of the poodle at his side, creating a piece with immense gallery presence.
