Hello Mike,

I'm sure you're aware of the Rembrandt Self-Portrait in which he portrays himself with a white hat, and a heavy fur coat with a red sweater of some kind. In his hands is a palette and mahl stick. In the background are two semi circles. Sorry I don't have a digital camera, so I cannot send the image over the email. However, in the book I am looking at, it states that the painting is in Kenwood House. Maybe that will help clarify the painting in your mind, if my description was too vague.

Anyway, I believe the semi circles in the background may give you some ideas. Good luck.

Anthony
