About this work
This portrait of the Leiden physician Jan Antonides van der Linden is Rembrandt’s very last etching. He received the commission through the mediation of his son Titus. The print was intended to serve as a book illustration and thus had to be engraved. Wilful as Rembrandt could be, he executed the likeness instead in etching and drypoint. It was never used for the book.
