About the artwork
The theatrical "Role-Portrait" is to be lakes the background of the Rembrandt Cult, which Reached Its Climax at the End of the 19th Century. The Soldier Seems to Have Stepped Straight Out of Rembrandt's Night Watch (1642) to Fix Something Outside the Picture with An Alert and Ready Gaze. The Steeply Rising Brim of the Morion Frames the Gaze and Thus Perspectivises It As The Actual 'Pictorial Action'. The gauze represents Both the Vigilant Defense and the Visionary Goal of the Battle.
Not only the subject, but so the style of the etching needle reflect Rembrandt's understanding of the time. Strong Contrasts of Light and Dark Are Created in A Virtuoso Free Stroke, Without Losing the Effect of the Reflections On The Helmet and In The Eyes. This show a kinship with the Early Prints of Lovis Corinth, who so Saw Himelf as an artist in the role of the Knight. Against This Background, Haberl's Picture Can So be Seen as a representation of his artistic self-image.
