Columbia University owns a painting by Rembrandt.  It hangs in the
President's office in Low Library.  I'd like information about this
painting: Its name, its subject matter, when it was acquired, etc.

1975 -- January 4 -- University sells Rembrandt painting, "Man with
Arms Akimbo," that had been rescued from President Kirk's office
during 1968 occupation of Low Library

In the 1968 student uprising, "the President's suite of offices was
kept immaculate and orderly after the chaotic first day....
The administration's fears of vandalism (and their special concern for
the Rembrandt hanging above President Kirk's desk) were poorly
founded, at least in Low.

According to a Columbia U page, it was sold on Jan 4, 1975
