Jacob de Gheyn III, also known as Jacob III de Gheyn, is a 1632 oil painting by Rembrandt. It measures only 29.9 by 24.9 centimetres (11.8 by 9.8 inches), which is one of the factors that made it the most stolen painting.

The painting has been nicknamed the “takeaway Rembrandt,” as it has been stolen four times since 1966.
