'In each of his portraits, Rembrandt was focused on bringing out the essence of the sitter, rather than reflecting them superficially and only as advantageously as possible. Even if the fame and financial reward brought by the portraits of the late 1630s might eventually have been too obvious in their unsparing openness, the genre owes Rembrandt a tremendous debt.'
