An elderly man is captured sitting, wearing a fur robe, looking thoughtfully into the unknown. Even in the middle of the twentieth century, this painting was considered to be a late Rembrandt , but nowadays it is already attributed to one of his followers. Several styles are evident in the painting - for example, the hands and head lack Rembrandt dexterity on closer inspection. When compared to works from the same period, which were actually created by the master himself, on the contrary, we observe extraordinary abilities, because the 1750s belonged to the peak of Rembrandt's portraits.

Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn (1606-1669). Dutch painter considered one of the greatest painters of all time, who particularly affected the history of art. Already during his lifetime, he achieved great renown - he painted famous contemporaries and taught dozens of outstanding painters. He often painted biblical themes (for example, Storm at Sea of ​​Galilee or observations of the Jewish community in Amsterdam). His most famous and popular work is Night Watch - the military retinue of Captain Frans Banning. The painting was named by its discoverer Sir Joshua Reynolds for its dark colour (the picture is, in fact, full of daylight). Another of his beautiful paintings is worth mentioning: Return of the Prodigal Son.
