Between the “Portrait of a Rabbi” and “Juno” the “Portrait of a Rabbi” looks to be the least finished of the two. There are aspects of both paintings that has caused some to claim that they are unfinished works. However, both works are completed works by Rembrandt. “Portrait of a Rabbi” demonstrates simple use of lines and economical use of paint. There are parts of his clothes in the bottom left corner that are indistinguishable and are made from a few brushstrokes. Rembrandt has used brush…
