In Rembrandt's earlier paintings his focus was on details from what dress the person wore in his painting, jewellery that they adorned and their expressions to tell their personality. He showed every possible detail to convey a story to the audience. I feel he was concerned that people would miss the point if the paintings lacked minute details. He paints what he sees the person as and fortunately the person demands the same in the beginning of his career.
But as time passes people wanted him to draw them with a mask but still him being his stubborn self refused to which was the starting point of his downfall. He isn't bothered to finish the paintings anymore since they were for him and it didn't matter if it failed to get the message. His initial paintings were more verbose but now it felt redundant to do so. The last painting shows true colours, roots of brutality in it's naked glory.
