JAN LIEVENS
Bust of a Young Woman in Profile to the Right.

Etching, circa 1660. 148x125 mm; 5 7/8x4 7/8 inches. Second state (of 3). Trimmed on or just inside the plate mark. A very good impression of this scarce etching.

Provenance: Carl Theodor Thiemann, Dachau (Lugt 642c, verso).

Lievens (1607-1674) shared a studio with Rembrandt from 1625 to 1631 and they remained close friends throughout their lives. During the late 1620s they often collaborated on paintings and sketched together: the Portrait of a Child in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, is inscribed "Lievens retouched by Rembrandt." Bartsch 27; Hollstein 45.
