Portrait of a Man ('The Auctioneer'), probably ca. 1658–62, Oil on canvas, 42 3/4 x 34 in. ( x cm), Paintings, Follower of Rembrandt (Dutch, third quarter 17th century), This fine portrait of an engaging young scholar was painted by an artist who was closely familiar with Rembrandt's style of about 1655–60. The master's surface effects have been imitated with flair but his emulator failed to achieve the convincing sense of form, textures, light, and space that Rembrandt displays in works such as the Aristotle with a Bust of Homer of 1653
