Study of an old man. unknown, painter

Man with a Steel Gorget. Artist: Style of Rembrandt (Dutch, second or third quarter 17th century). Dimensions: 37 1/8 x 30 5/8 in. (94.3 x 77.8 cm).Rembrandt's authorship was doubted as early as the 1920s. In subject and style the painting is typical of the master's immediate circle in the 1640s; attributions to Govert Flinck and to Gerbrand van den Eeckhout, both of whom studied under Rembrandt in the 1630s, have been proposed in recent years. The dashing figure's gesture may have been adopted from that of the captain in The Night Watch of 1642. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

Study Head of an Old Man. Artist: Style of Rembrandt (Dutch, mid- to late 1630s). Dimensions: 8 1/4 x 6 7/8 in. (21 x 17.5 cm). Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

Man with a Beard Style of Rembrandt Dutch Though generally accepted by Rembrandt scholars until about 1940, this canvas was considered an eighteenth-century imitation by F. Schmidt-Degener in 1935. Supporting this view is the sketchy execution, which is superficially similar to that found in Rembrandt's "study heads" painted on a much smaller scale; the light chalk ground and the man's collar appears fancifully to adopt an older Dutch form. The palette, the loose brushwork, and the frontal presentation of the figure recall Rembrandt's style of about 1665. The date is inscribed on the picture, but the simple application of parallel brushstrokes, resulting in flat and insubstantial forms, the awkwardly abrupt contrasts of light and shade, and, finally, the absence of any convincing indication of personality or thought are entirely alien to the master's mature manner. Quite a few Rembrandt imitations and forgeries date from the eighteenth century in England, where this painting was first

Hendrickje Stoffels (1626-1663) mid-1650s Rembrandt (Rembrandt van Rijn) Dutch Hendrickje Stoffels, the daughter of a soldier, worked as Rembrandts housekeeper, eventually becoming his common-law wife and mother of his daughter, Cornelia. While no formal portraits of Stoffels survive, she is believed to have modeled for a number of Rembrandts paintings, including this work, perhaps intended as a generic image of a courtesan. The figures intimate gesture of holding her robe closed with one hand echoes the close observations Rembrandt made of the women in his household in many surviving drawings..

Samson, c. 1630. Valentin de Boulogne (French, 1594-1632). Oil on canvas; framed: 157 x 125 x 7 cm (61 13/16 x 49 3/16 x 2 3/4 in.); unframed: 135.6 x 102.8 cm (53 3/8 x 40 1/2 in.). The Old Testament hero Samson rests his head on his hand in a pensive, even melancholic pose. Objects on the table recall two of his heroic deeds: he killed a lion with his bare hands, and liberated the Israelites by slaughtering a thousand Philistines with a donkeys jawbone. Samsons cuirass, or breastplate, is joined at the shoulder by a clasp in the form of a bee—the emblem of the Barberini family, who commissioned the painting. The figure of Samson may be a self-portrait of the artist.

Jean Baptiste Greuze (17251805) was a French genre and portrait painter. His works are characterized as sentimental and moralistic. He was praised by Diderot. Among his best known works are Les Deux Soeurs, La Malediction paternelle, La Cruche Cassee, and LInnocence tenant deux Pigeons. This painting, titled Portrait d'Homme, is a very good example of Greue as a portraitist. It is in the Louvre ad is remarkable for its delicate harmonious coloring and the living expression of the eyes. The man seems to be listening to someone, and on the point of opening his mouth to reply.
