Young Man Seated on the Ground, with One Leg Extended, Rembrandt van Rijn, 1646

etching, h 97mm × w 168mm More details

This study originated during one of Rembrandt’s lessons for his pupils. Rembrandt sketched the model from life directly on the copperplate, while his students also drew him on paper, each from a different angle. Afterwards, Rembrandt worked the plate anew, intensifying the shadows with the aid of a burin.
