Surrounded by the tools of his trade, the esteemed silversmith Jan Lutma (c. 1584–1669) is presented with a sensitive and reverential intimacy. The elderly artisan is posed in a leather-backed armchair decorated with carved lions’ heads finials, and his right hand holds a candlestick—one of his creations. In this beautiful etching, Rembrandt has added drypoint over an already dense web of finely etched lines. By altering the direction and strength of the lines, he has created subtle distinctions between the various layers of Lutma’s clothing and between the figure and the chair. The source of light in the room emanates from a point behind the sitter, a device that allowed Rembrandt to drape most of the figure in shadow, illuminating mainly his face. This etching is from the third and final state.
