It is not really an oil painting, it is a photo collage from the Rembrant anatomy picture, it was created as part of an art project which you can read about here....

Dear, this "painting" is clearly a fake, a Photoshop composition.
Have a look at Rembrandt painting "The anatomy lesson of doctor Tulp": you'll find there the hand and face of Verheyven.
It's clearly a copy/paste work...
The leg, also, looks absolutely juxtaposed, not resting on the tabletop in a natural way.The leg's shadow too, is totally "digital".
The rest of the figure and the room are taken from "Man writing by an easel" by the baroque dutch painter Gerrit Dou.
Love your blog!

Actually, it looks as though the left hand is the same as Tulp's left hand as well.
Incroyable tableau, mairgance, paris
Ah, yes. I was duped! Thanks for the heads up, everyone!
