Getting started with the collection:
Head of a Man in a Fur Cap, Crying Out
etching, with touches of drypoint and burin, c. 1629
A striking feature of these four prints is how small they are. Rembrandt must have found it difficult to hold the little copperplates to draw the composition in the etching ground. He is fascinated by the quirky hats. Some are so tall they beg the question whether he depicted them faithfully or somewhat exaggerated their height.
