REMBRANDT VAN RIJN Bearded Man in a Velvet Cap with a Jewel Clasp.
Etching, 1637. 95x82 mm; 3 5/8x3 1/4 inches, narrow margins. Usticke's first state (of 2), before the Watelet rework. A superb, richly-inked and crisp impression of this scarce etching with strong contrasts and no sign of wear, with all of the fine lines distinct, consistent with the earliest impressions of this subject. Bartsch 313; Biörklund 37-B; Hollstein (White and Boon) 313.
