In style and execution this portrait of a dignified older gentleman is consistent with Rembrandt"s work of about 1645–50. The picture"s apparent quality has been diminished by abrasion in the face; the jawline is retouched and the hand reconstructed. The eyes, mouth, and textures of skin and hair remain typical of Rembrandt.
