REMBRANDT VAN RIJN Nude Man Seated before a Curtain.

Ex-collection Fürst von Waldburg zu Wolfegg und Waldsee (Lugt 2542, verso). A superb, well-inked impression of this extremely scarce print with strong contrasts, traces of burr in the curtains and uneven, partially inky plate edges, as on the early impressions of this subject.
We have found fewer than 15 other impressions of this subject at auction in the past 30 years. Bartsch 193; Biörklund 46-B; Hollstein (White and Boon) 193.
