About this work

Artist: Rembrandt van Rijn (1606–1669)
Year: c. 1665–1669
Medium: Oil on canvas
Original size: 114.3 × 94 cm
Collection: Kenwood House (English Heritage), London
Movement: Dutch Golden Age

Rembrandt stands with palette, brushes and maulstick in hand, a fur-lined robe over a red garment and a white cap on his head, one hand planted on his hip. Behind him two large arcs of circles are drawn on the wall, and nobody has settled what they mean. The painting dates from about 1665 to 1669, the final years of his life, and is one of more than forty painted self-portraits. Much of it is handled with startling freedom: the hands and palette are barely sketched, lines are scratched into the wet paint of the moustache and collar, and it carries no signature or date. X-rays show he first painted himself turned further to the right, at work on a canvas at the picture's edge, before simplifying the pose into this frontal, monumental stance. Joshua Reynolds admired its colour despite its unfinished manner, and Fragonard painted a copy. It hangs at Kenwood House in London.

This exhibition-poster edition shows the whole work beneath original typography set in-house. The original is in the public domain.

Is this the whole painting, or a crop?

The whole work, uncropped. The exhibition-poster edition sets the complete image above typography designed in-house.

Is Self-Portrait with Two Circles in the public domain?

Yes. Rembrandt van Rijn (1606–1669) died more than 70 years ago and the work was published before 1929, so the painting itself is public domain. This print is a reproduction made from a high-resolution scan of the original, which is held by Kenwood House (English Heritage).

What is it printed on?

Heavyweight matte fine-art paper with pigment inks, made to order in 12×18, 16×24 and 24×36 inches; the two larger sizes are also offered framed. Colours are matched to the scan, not brightened.

When was Self-Portrait with Two Circles painted, and in what medium?

Self-Portrait with Two Circles dates from c. 1665–1669 and was made in oil on canvas; the original measures 114.3 × 94 cm.

What size works above a sofa or bed?

For a standard three-seat sofa or a queen bed, 24×36 inches reads as a single statement piece; 16×24 suits a narrower wall or a pairing. The print's proportions follow the original, so a landscape-format painting is wider than it is tall.
