REMBRANDT VAN RIJN
Bald Headed Man in Profile to the Right: Artist's Father.

Etching and drypoint, 1630. 70x58 mm; 2 3/4x2 1/4 inches, narrow to thread margins. Biörklund's third atate (of 3), after the reduction of the plate; Usticke's second state (e) (of 2); White and Boon's third state (of 3). Partial foolscap (?) watermark. Ex-collection George Biörklund, author of the catalogue raisonné of Rembrandt's etchings (Lugt 1956, verso). A superb impression of this very scarce etching with inky plate edges and strong contrasts and with a touch of burr on the nose. Bartsch 313; Biörklund 37-B; Hollstein (White and Boon) 313.
