REMRANDT VAN RIJN (CIRCLE OF)
A Woman Cutting her Mistresses Nails.

Etching, circa 1632. 126x97 mm; 5x37/8 inches, small margins. Usticke's second state (of 2), with the rework. Partial indiscernible watermark.

Accepted by Bartsch and Usticke (the latter comments, "A scarce print, rejected by many but possibly delicate earlier work has been covered"), this etching is attributed to a close follower of Rembrandt by most cataloguers. Biörklund notes that this print is the reversed copy of a Rembrandt painting from 1632. Bartsch 127; Biörklund Rej. 9.
