Man with a Beard, Oil on canvas, 28 7/8 x 25 1/4 in. (73.3 x 64.1 cm), Paintings, Style of Rembrandt (17th century or later), Though generally accepted by Rembrandt scholars until about 1940, this canvas was considered an eighteenth-century imitation by F. Schmidt-Degener in 1935. Supporting this view is the sketchy execution, which is superficially similar to that found in Rembrandt's 'study heads' painted on a much smaller scale; the light chalk ground and the man's collar appears fancifully to adopt an older Dutch form
