GERBRAND VAN DEN EECKHOUT.
Half-length portrait of a Bearded Rabbi.

Oil on canvas. Housed within elaborate gilt frame. Accompanied by: Curator’s endorsement (1965).
76 x 60 cm (30 x 24 inches).

Translation from the German of curator's description: “The painting reproduced ("Oil on board, 76 x 64 cm = ") is a work by the Dutch painter Gerbrand van den Eeckhout (Amsterdam 1624 -1674). G.v. Eeckhout was a pupil and friend of Rembrandt, whose style he imitated in his early works. In this picture, however, he found his own way of expression. The colorful depiction of the hair, as well as the sentimental expression of the portrait, conceals a genuine Jewish demeanor. All of this together results in a harmonious visual effect. Tutzing, 2.9.65. Prof. Dr. Zimmermann, Privy Councillor, Former Director of the National Museum, Berlin.” Additional curatorial comments available upon request.
