An Elephant
Dark chalk drawing on cream paper shows an elephant standing in profile facing right, its body built up with loose, hatched strokes and its trunk curling down at the lower right. Signed and dated at lower right 'Rembrandt f. 1637,' the study sits within a thin border, with faint shading beneath the feet.
