Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn

A fine lifetime impression of New Hollsteins's first state (of three) with sharp lines, before the additional lines on the step. The faintly etched landscape in the background is still clearly visible, with no signs of wear in the dark passages. With a margin up to 6 mm around the platemark. – Verso along the edges with remnants and traces of a former mounting. At the upper edge, centered, a small backed tear, otherwise in good condition. The parable of the prodigal son is one of the artist's most beautiful narrative sheets.
