672. HIS OWN PORTRAIT.

_Rembrandt_ (Dutch: 1606-1669). _See 45._

"This portrait, dated 1640, describes the man well--strong and robust,

with powerful head, firm and compressed lips and determined chin, with

heavy eyebrows, separated by a deep vertical furrow, and with eyes of

keen penetrating glance,--altogether a self-reliant man, who would

carry out his own ideas, careless whether his popularity waxed or

waned" (J. F. White in _Encyclopædia Britannica_).
