This portrait of Lucasz. was most likely made to hang alongside one of his wife, Petronella Buys (private collection). Although both are signed by Rembrandt himself, there is a clumsiness to the execution of this one which suggests that one or more of his assistants may have had a hand in it. The thick black line representing the shadow between the sitter’s lips is quite rudimentary, for example. But it’s also possible that Rembrandt was forced to finish the painting quickly, and that what we see here are simply signs of overhasty work.
