Image description: Alternative attributed to Jan Victors (1619-after 1676). The actor was a subject of repeated interest for Rembrandt. These types of figure studies were a means of practice, preparation and instruction within the workshop, resulting in a number of early copies or interpretations by his pupils. Here, the actors bravado is expressed through a vigorous handling of the pen, yet the somewhat lurching strokes, rather schematic facial features and flat quality of the right leg seem foreign to Rembrandt.
