Studies of the Head of Saskia and Others.

Etching, 1636. 154x127 mm; 6 1/4x5 inches, narrow margins. Usticke's second state (of 2); New Hollstein's first state (of 2), before the retouching of the plate and with the delicate horizontal scratches between the turban of the woman upper left and Saskia's hair (Hinterding notes that these scratches appear in late first state impressions). A very good, crisp impression with all the fine lines distinct, with strong contrasts and with sharp plate edges. Bartsch 365; Biörklund 36-B; Hollstein (White and Boon) 365; New Hollstein 157.
