Clement de Jonghe,
1651
Rembrandt van Rijn, 1606–1669; born Leiden, Netherlands; died Amsterdam, Netherlands
x1976-127
Rembrandt’s expressive portrait prints of his male friends and patrons often were etched directly into the plate in the presence of the sitter. This gentleman has been identified as Clement de Jonghe (1624/25–1677), an Amsterdam print publisher and art dealer whose estate included many of Rembrandt’s copper plates. The artist’s portrayal of De Jonghe is executed in a particularly free and open
etching style, conveying an introspective mood.
