Description
Quite excellent, strong impression with traces of burr in the fur collar. Inscribed upper left and right: “JG. v. vliet fec.” and “RHL inventor”. With a fine margin around the platemark. Between 1633 and 1634, van Vliet etched a total of six “Tronies” after paintings by Rembrandt, whom he had probably met in Leiden around 1630. Even after Rembrandt moved to Amsterdam, van Vliet remained in close contact with the artist. Prints of these “Tronies” are extremely rare. – Mostly with brown stains on the verso, the paper slightly darkened. Horizontal, smoothed fold mark. Two slight creases in the upper left corner. With repaired marginal defects, with a rubbing at top centre. At the lower edge a back-fibred loss, otherwise still good.
Very rare!
