A self-portriat of Rembrandt. He wears a soft hat and rich clothes. His left elbow rests on a stone wall. Rembrandt here portrays himself in Renaissance attire, taking inspiration from two sixteenth-century works, Raphael's Portrait of Baldassare Castiglione, now in the Musée du Louvre, Paris, and Titian's so-called Portrait of Ariosto, now in the National Gallery, London.
