REMBRANDT Harmenszoon van Rijn: Study of a drunk

🖼 Study of a drunk, 1633
Black and some white chalk
251 × 189 cm

A hunched figure staggers forward in loose brushwork, captured mid-stumble with exaggerated gesture and shadow. Rembrandt's psychological study transforms a mundane subject into raw human vulnerability, pioneering expressive portraiture.
