Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn

A very fine lifetime impression of New Hollstein's rare second state (of seven), after the addition of shading to various areas, yet before the cross-hatching added to the small area of foul biting on the basket on the right hand margin. Narrow to small margins. – Vertical tear at the upper left margin. Thinning of the paper with a tear in the lower left corner, verso reinforced with mounting tape. Minor loss in the left margin, backed. Flattened horizontal crease in the upper image area. Minimally time-stained. Good overall impression.
