Portrait of a Man Rising from His Chair is an oil painting by Dutch artist, Rembrandt van Rijn. Installed in the Taft Museum in Art of Cincinnati, Ohio, the work depicts an unknown man moving with his left hand, perhaps to introduce the viewer to his wife portrayed in a companion, or pendent, painting, Portrait of a Young Woman with a Fan which is in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. - AsNotedIn
