[SergeiSK]

Jan Livens, Netherlandish painter of XVII century, captured the young Rembrandt Harmensz van Rijn in the painting "The players in the card, written in 1623-1624, respectively. Such a conclusion was an art critic Arthur Wheelock (Arthur Wheelock) from the National Gallery of Art in Washington. On conclusion of the expert told the newspaper The Independent. More detailed material should appear in the new issue of the publication of The Art Newspaper.
Wheelock recalled that Livens, who wrongly believe a follower of Rembrandt, though he was an independent master, and the author of "Night Watch" and other great paintings studied together at the Amsterdam painter Pieter Lastman. Known portrait by Rembrandt, made Livensom in 1629. Professor Wheelock sees similarities between this image and the central figure of "Players Card" - a cheerful beardless man with a pipe in his hand, blue-green piece of cloth thrown over his shoulder. If the hypothesis of Professor Wilcock is correct, then at the end of Rembrandt paintings Livensom was 16 years old.
Painting Livensa "players card" is located in a private meeting, but prior to August 2009 she exhibited at the exhibition of the artist at Amsterdam's Museum Rembrandt House. "
Rembrandt during his life wrote a series of self-portraits, most of them he painted himself thoughtful or sad. Only in 2008, critics have identified the only known his "laughing" self-portrait.
