Self-Portrait at the Age of 63 is a self-portrait by the Dutch artist Rembrandt, now in the National Gallery, London. Dating to 1669, it was the last in his long series of self-portraits, and painted in the year of his death. Despite the closeness of his death, Rembrandt makes an impression of a self-assured and confident artist.
Painting technique
The painting was investigated by the scientists of the National Gallery in London.[1] Rembrandt employed his usual rather limited palette of lead white, ochres and red lakes.[2]
