This captivating portrait likely depicts Dr. Ephraim Bueno (1599-1665), a renowned Jewish physician and scholar in Amsterdam. Rendered by the masterful hand of Rembrandt van Rijn, the subject is shown half-length, standing gracefully while leaning his left hand on a stair railing. He dons a tall black hat, adding to his distinguished appearance. This piece is a preparatory study for an etching created in 1647 (Bartsch 278).
