REMBRANDT VAN RIJN Nude Man Seated and Another Standing with a Woman and a Baby.
Etching, circa 1646. 195x130 mm; 7 5/8x5 1/8 inches, thread margins. Biörklund's first state (of 4); Usticke's first state (of 7); New Hollstein's first state (of 8). Foolscap with a five-pointed collar watermark. A brilliant, early impression of this scarce, early state, with unusually strong contrasts for this lightly-bitten plate, with inky plate edges and no sign of wear, consistent with the earliest impressions of this subject.
Provenance: The Albertina, Vienna (Lugt 5g, verso).
