DescriptionExhibition text: A student sits daydreaming at a table with books, a popular theme here rendered by Rembrandt’s most brilliant pupil. Light entering the dark interior spotlights the lower half of his face while the forehead is shaded beneath a beret. The expressive use of light, dark-toned palette, and impasto brushwork suggests the painting was made in Rembrandt’s studio, inspired by the master’s fanciful role portraits and studies of the illumination of faces.
