About Artwork: (17th century) "This painting of a grey-haired man apparently lost in thought is not intended to be a portrait of a real person, but is an example of a tronie. This genre, popular at the time, depicted personality types. It is signed Rembrandt halfway up on the right-hand side; scientific analysis suggests that it almost certainly dates from the seventeenth century and confirms that the signature is integral to the painting, not faked later. Indeed, it’s made with the same paint mixture used to render the dark tones in the man’s cloak, so there’s a high probability that both cloak and signature were made by the same hand. But based on judgments of style and painting technique all Rembrandt experts agree that the work is not by the artist himself – so the signature must be a forgery. It must, however, have been made by someone, perhaps from his workshop, who was familiar with Rembrandt’s working practices." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
