Cornelis Claesz Anslo, Rembrandt van Rijn, 1641

etching, h 186mm × w 157mm More details

Cornelis Anslo was a cloth merchant and preacher in Amsterdam. Rembrandt may have met him through Saskia’s cousin, Hendrick Uylenburgh, who was a member of Anslo’s congregation. Here he gestures with his left hand, as though speaking, which naturally refers to his function as a pastor. Rembrandt detailed his hat and clothing with utmost precision.
