Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn

This very rare, intimately rendered portrait of Saskia in a fine, sharp impression of this scarce, lightly-bitten plate, with inky plate edges on the sides. Trimmed to the platemarks. According to Nowell-Usticke: "RRR+ An extremely rare, delicate study." A drawing of the same woman, sitting in bed, executed in bistre, is at the Louvre, Paris. – A few isolated tiny brown spots. The upper left corner attached inconspicuously; remnants and traces of a former mount on the reverse; otherwise in very good condition.
