Rembrandt van Rijn (1606-1669). (Grotesque profile: man with high hat).

Etching, 3.8 x 2.1 cm. (top edge round), c. 1631, in mount.

Trimmed on/ just inside the plate edge, trifle foxed. Hollstein/ Bartsch 326, 3rd or later state (of 4 or 5). This rare, tiny etching is only known from states adapted by a student, the Rijksmuseum (third state online) suggests J.G. van Vliet.
