shareI answered this (I THINK correctly), on your Classic Film post. (No, I'm not complaining about the double post...it makes sense.)
It wasn't a bank. It was a museum. I think the portrait that O'Toole points out to Hepburn as a "superb Rembrandt," is "A Portrait of Rembrandt's Father," painted in 1631.
It's a portrait of Jacob Trip.

Thanks. I really like that painting. I can't quite understand why though.
