Reversing Rembrandt- his actual image?




Taking a portrait of myself while looking in the mirror I noticed the huge disparity between the two images. What I look like to others and what I see in the morning are actually two completely different views. I thought of the time before photographs, did people really see their accurate image using the double mirror technique?

I immediately looked at the reverse of Rembrandt's self portraits.
