Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn biography

This work is linked to Philippians 1:1

Somewhat tired, an old man sits at his desk. The sword against the wall tells us this must be St. Paul. The former persecutor of Christians is often depicted with that attribute.

The painting is signed in the lower left corner with "Rembrandt 163". Experts think it must be made around 1633.
