Ephram Hezekiah Bueno (15991665), usually referred to by his Latinized name Bonus, was a physician and writer who came from a Sephardic-Jewish family. He was a renowned doctor and at the same time wrote poems in Spanish. He was also a supporter of Samuel Menasseh ben Israel who lived across the street from Rembrandt and might have introduced Bonus to the artist.
The imposing portrait print was executed in the same year as Rembrandts prints of Jan Asselijn (Bartsch ???) and Jan Six (Bartsch ???). All three have in common that they depict their sitters standing. What is exceptional with regards to Rembrandts working process is that the print was neither based on a preliminary drawing nor was it executed directly on the plate. Instead, it was prepared by a small panel painting of identical size (Bredius 252; Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam).
