Christ at Emmaus: The Smaller Plate Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn

A very fine, early impression of New Hollstein’s only state, with the delicate drypoint lines in the rays of the halo still clearly visible and with traces of foul biting beneath the table, characteristic of the earliest impressions. Trimmed on the platemark. The plate was lost at an early date and impressions are consequently rare. Nowell-Usticke records the etching as ‘R+‘ (rare). – With a few minor foxing spots. Verso with a small spot of paper thinning at the lower right edge and old mounting strips. The sheet verso minimally rubbed along the edges, otherwise in good condition. | 1606 Leiden - Amsterdam 1669 | 15.-18. Jahrhundert | Druckgrafik | Nummer: 26x1685 | Provenance: Alcide Donnadieu (after 1781–1861), London, with his handwritten collector’s mark verso (Lugt 97 and 107); Charles Blanc (1813–1882), with the inscription verso: ‘Souvenir offert à Mr. Ch. Blanc 4 Nov./51.‘
