Description
Excellent, even impression of the last state, with the revisions to the front of the boy’s left knee and the underside of the wooden board above the scales. Cut close to or within the edge of the plate. Jan Uytenbogaert, tax collector of the States of Holland in Amsterdam, was nicknamed “The Goldweigher” because of his office. It is probably a commissioned work because the copper plate became the property of the Uytenbogaert family. The plate is mentioned in the inventory of his grandson, Jakob Geel, who died in 1757. It later appeared in the possession of William Baillie, who revised it and included prints in his 1792 publication. – A tiny, closed tear in the lower left corner. The upper right corner reattached and discreetly retouched. With remnants and traces of an ealier mounting on the reverse, otherwise in good condition.
