Why it's great
A young man in a fur cap and a heavy coat looks out with a calm, direct look in front of a pale wall. This is probably a self-portrait painted by Carel Fabritius in about 1654.

Carel Fabritius was a Dutch painter born in 1622, who studied with Rembrandt. He painted only a few pictures, and he was killed at the age of 32 when a gunpowder store exploded in Delft in 1654, destroying much of his work. The Goldfinch is his best-known picture.
