REMBRANDT VAN RIJN
Man in a Broad-brimmed Hat.

Etching, 1638. 79x65 mm; 3 1/8x2 5/8 inches, narrow margins. Usticke's only state (i) with some of the scratches in the background still printing. Ex-collection Wilhelm Edouard Drugulin (Lugt 2612, verso). A superb impression of this very scarce, early etching, with strong contrasts and no sign of wear.

According to Usticke, "A very rare small portrait" (RRR). Bartsch 311; Biörklund 38-C; Hollstein (White and Boon) 311.
