Portrait of Rembrandt, Rembrandt Workshop (1650)
Although this painting was once highly regarded as a famous self-portrait, technical and stylistic evidence indicates that it was created by an unknown artist in Rembrandt's workshop. The paint mixtures, types of pigments used, and presence of a double ground-a red lower ground covered by a dark gray upper layer-are all consistent with the materials and practices used in his workshop.
