Original etching and drypoint printed in black ink on laid paper.

A superb 17th century/lifetime impression of Bartsch, Usticke and New Hollstein’s only state of this very rare etching (characterized by G.W. Nowell-Usticke in his 1967 catalogue Rembrandt’s Etchings: States and Values as “a scarce print; probably a snow scene”), showing traces of sulphur tinting in the trees at the left, in the sky above the cottage and the distant landscape at the center.

Catalog: Bartsch 228; Hind 212; Biorklund-Barnard 45-1; Usticke 228; New Hollstein 202.
