In this artwork, how is the Description discussed?
Self-Portrait with Two Circles is one of more than 40 self-portraits Rembrandt painted (as well as a similar number in other media) and one of a number of depictions in several media dating at least from 1629 that show him at work drawing, etching, or painting. He wears a fur-lined robe, beneath which is a red garment. On his head is a white hat, similar to that worn in several other late self-portraits.X-rays show Rembrandt had presented himself as working on a canvas suggested by the vertical line at the far right of the portrait.Unlike other late self-portraits, in Self-Portrait with Two Circles, Rembrandt, with one hand on his hip, appears confrontational and even defiant. The impression is that of a master solemnly asserting his genius.
