REMBRANDT VAN RIJN Studies of the Head of Saskia and Others.
Etching, 1636. 153x125 mm; 6x4 7/8 inches. Usticke's first state (of 2), before the horizontal scratches between the head of the man with the turban and Saskia's head; New Hollstein's first state (of 2). The lower part of a Strasburg Lily watermark (Hinterding, illustrated page 471, which he dates to 1632). With thread margins or trimmed on the plate mark. A brilliant, richly-inked and early impression with all the fine lines distinct and with no sign of wear, consistent with the earliest impressions of this subject.
Provenance: Alexander Beugo, London, with the ink stamp verso (Lugt 82). Bartsch 365; Biörklund 36-B; Hollstein (White and Boon) 365; New Hollstein 157.
