REMBRANDT VAN RIJN The Descent from the Cross by Torchlight.
Etching and drypoint, 1654. 210x163 mm; 8 1/4x6 1/2 inches, tread margins. Biörklund's first state (of 2); Usticke's first state (of 3), before the Basan rework. Small shield with the word Paris and 1680 (Ash/Fletcher 39 A). A very good, well-inked impression with strong contrasts, traces of burr on the darkened figure reaching for Christ's body and little to no sign of wear even in the most densely cross-hatched areas. Bartsch 83; Biörklund 54-G; Hollstein (White and Boon) 83.
