They look like Rembrandt's work to me. Even the very best students aren't able to fully "copy" their master's style. I've visited the
Rembrandt House museum in Amsterdam. If you ever get a chance to see it, don't miss out - it's terrific.

I dont know, I seem to recall a painting which was attributed to Rembrandt and considered one of his best which a few years ago was proven to be by one of his students. It instantly was worthless. Apparantly quality isnt that important in art valuation.

Many years ago I was in Amsterdam. Too bad I missed it. If happen to go there again, it will be on top of my list.
Incidentally, today's "Inside the Beltway," The Washington Times, notes the similarity between the faces of a condemned figure in a Sistine Chapel fresco and that of Senator Feinstein at the Alito hearings.
