Details

Humble eyes (added by Luísa ☆ 2)

Rembrandt was a very requested painter by the wealthy dutch traders. In the exact words of Michael Schama, the art historian, rich people wanted him to make their portraits because of his incredible hability of "showing them off, without making them show offs". You can have a prove of it in Nicolas Ruts' eyes: they have a severe, respectul look, but yet very humble and sensitive.
