Detail of Rembrandt's "The Night Watch" at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. The two rectangular spots are where some of the varnish has been removed as part of the research for the current restoration work. Rembrandt painted himself into the scene; that's him peering over the shoulder of the helmeted watchman in the upper left.
