Rembrandt's original is titled something like 'The Artist in his Studio' and is a yound portrait of Rembrandt. One of the goals of copying the old master was to mimic the size of the painting. I couldn't get a canvas small enough. (it's an inch or so too big in at least one directon...) The exercise was valuable: I learned just how insanely detailed a painting can get. But one of the biggest advantages of it being so small was I didn't really have to worry about the figure looking like me... ofcourse... the figure doesn't really look like anyone... except maybe a hobbit...
