The original was in the collection of Admiral William Waldegrave, 1st Baron Radstock, London and Mayfield until 1826 and then in the collection of the Barons Ashburton, London until it was acquired by Altman in New York in 1909 who bequeathed it to the Metropolitan.\n\nHistorical significance: In addition to the V&A copy there is another, formerly in the Phillimore Museum [Gedenkmuseum Philmore Ives?] in Stellenbosch, South Africa (current location unknown).  The work was also engraved by the German printmaker Georg Friedrich Schmidt (1712-1775).","historicalContext":"The dozen or more self-portraits that date from each decade of Rembrandt's career vary considerably in composition, expression and technique. In the late examples, the broad applications of paint convey a candid record of the artist's aging features. In the course of four decades Rembrandt painted, etched, or drew about seventy-five self-portraits, whci constitute one of the most personal parts of his oeuvre which inspired pupils, followers and imitators.","briefDescription":"Oil painting, 'Self Portrait', after Rembrandt van Rijn, 19th century","bibliographicReferences":[{"reference":{"text":"","id":""},"details":"","free":"Kauffmann, C.M. <u>Catalogue of Foreign Paintings, I.
