Rembrandt painted his son Titus several times, these are 4 stages capturing his young son's [idealized] inner life: as a dreamy schoolboy, an early teen reading enthusiastically, a melancholic youth wearing a red beret & gold chain and as a pensive young man in a monk's habit.
The first Rembrandt's portrait of his son Titus is the more realistic of the four: young Titus at his desk bored by school work yet escaping with a faraway gaze as if trying to seize that elusive dream [1]
Rembrandt's portraits of his son Titus:

1-Titus at a Desk-1655
2-Titus van Rijn, the Artist's Son, Reading-1657
3-Titus, the Artist's Son-1657
4-Rembrandt’s Son Titus in a Monk’s Habit-1660
