The image shows a newspaper clipping from the Globe AM dated April 13, 1965. The main focus of the clipping is an article about an oil sketch by Rembrandt titled "Head of Christ," which was acquired by the Fogg Art Museum at Harvard University. The sketch, painted in the 1640s, was a gift from William A. Coolidge and was formerly part of the collection of the late actor Thomas Mitchell. This acquisition marked Harvard's first oil painting by the Dutch master.

The article describes the sketch as being painted on a wooden panel. The sketch is noted for its subtle gradations in shades of orange-red, pink, and ochre, which enliven the flesh tones. The paint is so thin in some passages that the wooden panel can be seen through it.

Additionally, the article mentions that the Fogg collection includes nine drawings by Rembrandt, among other works. It also highlights the contributions of former staff members of the museum, such as Professor Rosenberg and his colleagues, who have worked on Rembrandt's art. Professor Rosenberg, who joined Harvard in 1936, recently completed a two-volume work on Dutch painting of the seventeenth century.
