Excellent, clear early impression from the delicately etched plate. Rated RR+ by Nowell-Usticke as 'a rare, delicate plate'. There are no late impressions. With a fine margin around the plate mark. The woman lying in bed is Saskia van Uylenburgh. This assumption is based on pen and ink drawings that show Rembrandt's wife lying in bed as a sick woman (cf. asst. Cat. London/Amsterdam 2000 (Rembrandt), pp. 181 ff.) – With faint, isolated brown stains. Verso with traces of former mounting, otherwise in good condition. Very rare in this early impression!
