Sobre el cuadro
El Autorretrato de 1628, o Autorretrato con cabello despeinado es un de los primeros autorretratos del artista holandés Rembrandt, actualmente en el Rijksmuseum. Data de 1628 y es un ejercicio en claroscuro. Es uno de los autorretratos de Rembrandt más antiguos.
En palabras del museo
Even as an inexperienced young artist, Rembrandt did not shy away from experimenting. Here the light glances along his right cheek, while the rest of his face is veiled in shadow. It takes a while to realize that the artist is gazing intently out at us. Using the butt end of his brush, Rembrandt made scratches in the still wet paint to accentuate the curls of his tousled hair.
