Head by Rembrandt
If this is successful, there will be an image of a Rembrandt head here. His palette is known to have included lead white, lead-tin yellow, earth reds and yellows, umber, cassel earth, bone black, red and sometimes yellow lakes. No cadmiums, of course, since they did not exist in his time, and very rarely vermilion. His brighter reds were more often earth reds with red lakes mixed in (madder or cochineal).
