Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn
David und Goliath (Illustration zu Menasseh Ben Israel's 'Piedra)
Description
A very fine lifetime impression of New Hollstein's third state (of five), before the newly added cross hatching on Goliath’s shield and after the plate has been reduced in size. All four depictions of the four scenes originally featured on a single plate are extremely rare. Listed in Nowell-Usticke with the note "RRR+" for "extremely rare". Trimmed to, or on the platemark in places. – Unobtrusive vertical tear, top right edge. In the top left corner a small repair due to a minor paper damage; otherwise in good condition.
