How to sell

Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn
Bald-headed man in Profile Right; The Artist's Father (?) (B., Holl. 292; H. 23)
etching, 1630, a very good impression of the third, final state after the plate had been reduced, with thread margins, a small pen and ink number at the lower right sheet corner, in very good condition
P. 69 x 57 mm., S. 71 x 60 mm.

Specialist note

In the third state Rembrandt reduced the plate resulting in a more intimate, close-up view of the sitter. Without the somewhat theatrical oriental cloak and necklace worn in the previous two states the pose is more natural and makes it a more penetrating psychological study.
