Rembrandt Painting Hat Reproduction
 
I was commissioned to reproduce the hat in Rembrandt von Rign's painting, "Old Man in Gorget"
 
 
I did some research and found that the painting was created in 1630.
I found similar hats in woodcuts from the period.
I purchased ostrich feathers and black velvet.
 
Here is the reproduction:
 
The pin is period, though not Dutch.  It resembles Florentine jewelry and could have been used on a 1630 Dutch hat.
