REMBRANDT VAN RIJN The Pancake Woman.

Biörklund's second state (of 5); Usticke's first state (of 6); White and Boon's second state (of 3); New Hollstein's second state (of 7), before the cross-hatching on the small area of foul-biting on the upper part of the basket at the far lower right edge of the composition. Partial Seven Provinces watermark (Ash/Fletcher 34, which they date from the late 1600s; Hinterding/New Hollstein cites other second state impressions of this subject with the same watermark). A superb, crisp, dark, and early impression with strong contrasts and little to no sign of wear, before the posthumous rework.
