Self-portraits by Rembrandt

 * ... that in the only full-length painted self-portrait by Rembrandt he wore oriental costume and later added a poodle to hide his feet? Source: Self Portrait in Oriental Attire: "In the end, Rembrandt decided to leave out the feet altogether, painting a poodle in their place. This alteration may have been made several years later".  There is a copy and x-rays showing the feet were originally painted, "only full-length painted" is covered. - p. 137, White, Christopher, Buvelot, Quentin (eds), Rembrandt by himself, 1999, National Gallery, London/Mauritshuis, The Hague, ISBN 1857092708
