REMBRANDT VAN RIJN Jan Uytenbogaert, "The Goldweigher".
Etching and drypoint, 1639. 254x205 mm; 10x8 1/4 inches, narrow margins. Biörklund's fourth state (of 4); Usticke's third state (of 3); White and Boon's second state (of 2); New Hollstein third state (of 3), with the Captain William Baillie rework. Bunch of grapes watermark. A very good, well-inked, crisp and even impression with little to no sign of wear and with strong contrasts.
Uytenbogaert (1608-1680) was likely a long-standing acquaintance of Rembrandt's. He was the Dutch national tax collector and a patron of the arts, whose country estate just outside Amsterdam was a quasi-salon and focal point for local artists and poets. Bartsch 281; Biörklund 39-D; Hollstein (White and Boon) 281; New Hollstein 172.
