Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn
Jan Lutma, Goldsmith
etching with engraving and drypoint, 1656, on laid paper with an indistinct countermark PB (?), a good impression of New Hollstein's second/ third state (of five), with thread margins, trimmed on or just inside the platemark but outside the subject in places, the sheet slightly toned, generally in good condition
Plate 197 x 149 mm., Sheet 199 x 150 mm.

Specialist note

It appears that New Hollstein's second and third states are indeed identical and that the inscription underneath the window and the barely legible one in the densely worked area at lower right were in fact engraved at the same time. What we do know with certainty is that François Lutma's address at lower right had been added in Rembrandt's lifetime, since he outlived François by five years.
