This excellent painting starring Donald Duck is a tribute to Rembrandt, one of the greatest painters of all time and specifically a representative of the Dutch Golden Age. This original painting is inspired by “The Man with the Golden Helmet” (ca.1650). The composition shows Donald Duck in front of a dark background with a striking golden helmet on his head.
