Self-portrait in a Soft Cap, Rembrandt van Rijn, c. 1634

etching, h 51mm × w 44mm More details

Rembrandt must have had a substantial collection of headgear. Here we see him in a cap pulled forward, a kutchma (a Polish fur hat) and a velvet beret with a visor. Incidentally, in Rembrandt’s time such berets were considered old-fashioned and reminiscent mainly of 16th-century head coverings
