REMBRANDT VAN RIJN Cornelis Claesz Anslo, Preacher.
Etching and drypoint on thin Japan paper, 1641. 190x160 mm; 7 1/2x6 1/4 inches, thread margins. Biörklund's third state (of 4); Usticke's third state (e) (of 6), with the nail in the wall showing and with the delicate Baillie rework; White and Boon's second state (of 2). A very good impression of this extremely scarce portrait with all the fine lines in the background and the dense cross-hatching distinct and with traces of burr throughout. Bartsch 271; Biörklund 41-J; Hollstein (White and Boon) 271.
