Beschreibung
A very fine impression, with touches of drypoint around the man's left eye and his moustache, and with many fine vertical wiping scratches; the plate was lost at an early stage. Thread margins. The figure depicted may well be Samuel Smitjers, the bookseller and art collector who died in 1644, whom Rembrandt may have encountered at auctions in Amsterdam in the 1630s. – Verso the upper corners are unobtrusively reinforced, otherwise in very good condition.
Rare!
