THE PRINT DEPARTMENT
of the Museum of Fine Arts comprises the Gray Collection
(about 6,000 prints), deposited by Harvard College ; a collection
of engraved portraits, etc, bequeathed by the late Charles
Sumner; a collection of etchings by Jacque, Whistler, and
Haden, deposited by the Boston Athenaeum ; several thousand
prints presented by Mr. George W. Wales, including a com-
plete set of the Arundel Society's publications ; a small col-
lection of engravings by the late John Cheney and other
American engravers, presented by Mrs. Ednah D. Cheney; a
fine collection of proofs of American etchings and wood en-
gravings, many of them signed, presented partly by the artists
themselves, partly by the Century Company and other publish-
ing houses; and divers other engravings and etchings, the
gifts either of the artists or of other friends of the institution,
the whole constituting at present a collection (constantly grow-
ing) of about ten thousand prints.
The Sumner portraits and a few other engravings from the
Sumner bequest are displayed permanently in frames hung
above the wall screens in the First Print Room. Exhibitions
of prints, ancient and modern, are arranged in the First and
Second Print Rooms, and are frequently changed. The prints
not on exhibition can be seen on application to the curator, who
is in attendance on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. It is advisable,
however, to apply for an appointment, either personally or by
letter, at least one week in advance. This is suggested for the
convenience of visitors. The rules governing the Gray Collec-
tion requiring that no one but the curator be allowed to handle
the prints, he must give personal attention to each visitor, and
must, therefore, have time to arrange appointments so that they
may not interfere with one another.
Persons specially interested in prints are requested to send
their names and addresses to the curator, so that they may be
notified of the (>pening of exhibitions, new acquisitions, etc.
Address all communications to The Curator of the

INTRODUCTION.
It is now ten years since the Burlington Fine Arts
Club, of London, opened (in May, 1877) its celebrated
second exhibition of Rembrandt's etchings, — an exhibition
which still holds a place in the memory of all who are
interested in the great master, as a source of pleasure to
those who were fortunate enough to see it, as a source of
regret to those who were denied that advantage. The
aim of this exhibition was twofold : Firstly, to afford to
the visitor an insight into the development of the artist, to
trace his progress step by step from early beginnings to
the culmination of his powers ; secondly, to bring together
the evidence needed to decide the question, to what extent
Rembrandt's own work had been alloyed with that of
others. It is easily seen that the first of these aims could
only be reached by a chronological arrangement of the
etchings executed by or attributed to Rembrandt. At the
same time, the chronological arrangement would aid also
in the attainment of the second aim, for in the sifting-out
process, which must necessarily be one of comparison, a
knowledge of the various stages passed through by the
reputed author of all these works must self-evidently be of
great importance. Mr. Francis Seymour Haden, the well-
known etcher, took the principal part in the arrangement
of the exhibition, as well as in the discussion which ac-
companied it. It was, indeed, his influence which shaped
the exhibition in its essential features, and his theories
regarding the authorship of the etchings in question were
set forth at length in the introduction to the catalogue of
the exhibition. That catalogue, owing to the exclusive
policy of the Burlington Fine Arts Club, is unfortunately
unobtainable, but the introduction was published by Mr.
Haden as a pamphlet, both in English and in French.

IV INTRODUCTION.
The present exhibition has been arranged with a view
to furnishing to Rembrandt students in America similar, if
not the same, facilities which were furnished to these stu-
dents in Europe by the London exhibition. But a some-
what difficult question presented itself at the outset. There
are two chronological lists of Rembrandt's work extant, —
an older by Mr. C. Vosmaer, the author of " Rembrandt, sa
Vie et ses CEuvres " ; a second, based upon the system
adopted at the exhibition of the London club, by Mr.
Charles Henry Middleton, author of "A Descriptive
Catalogue of the Etched Work of Rembrandt Van Rhyn."
Mr. Middleton's list is very precise, assigning each etching
to a distinct year, and thus very inviting as a clean-cut
piece of work, undisturbed by doubt or indecision. Mr.
Vosmaar, on the other hand, often wavers and hesitates to
lay down his opinions as the law j sometimes, indeed, pre-
fers to have no opinion at all. It was this comparative
modesty which finally commended his list. There is
something repelling in the audacity with which the author
of the *' Descriptive Catalogue " assigns each print to its
particular year, and sometimes even undertakes to date the
various states, and, still more incomprehensibly, the
various parts of one and the same plate. Mr. Vosmaer's
reasons for his decisions are, indeed, not always apparent ;
he is clearly in error sometimes, and occasionally he mis-
reads a date, but similar objections may also be urged
against Mr. Middleton. There is, moreover, this to be
said for Mr. Vosmaer, that he leaves the student more
liberty of thought and of action than his English competi-
tor. Finally, by adhering to Mr. Vosmaer's chronology,^
the exhibition becomes illustrative of his admirable
' As an additional help in fixing the presumable dates of Rem-
brandt's etchings, as well as in deciding the question of authen-
ticity, the monograms, signatures, and figures found on the plates have
not as yet been taken fully into account. If that were the case, Mr.
Vosmar might, perhaps, have assigned some of the plates differently,
as for instance, " The Bathers," No. 35 of this catalogue, the signature
upon which certainly argues (as does also the work) for the later date.
It is a strange fact that the monograms on Rembrandt's earlier plates
have so far been misinterpreted by all cataloguers. Mr. Blanc prides
himself upon having discovered that many of these monograms read
KH (Rembrandt Harmenszoon), instead of Rt (Rembrandt), as in-
INTRO D UCTION.
book on Rembrandt, or the latter may serve as a text-book
for the exhibition, and this is an advantage not to be
ignored.
As to Mr. Haden's theories concerning the authenticity
of some of the plates attributed to Rembrandt, these can
easily be tested by those desiring to do so by the aid of
this exhibition, as a number of the plates by Van Vliet,
Bol, and Lievens, mentioned by him in his " Monograph,"
are shown in it. How far these theories are sustained by
the test, cannot be discussed here. Mr. Haden himself,
in the prefatory " Note " to his second edition, admits that
he has gone too far, or has at least ventured too much into
detail as to the various etchers possibly involved. But it
is clear that all the work which still goes under Rembrandt's
name cannot be by him, or cannot now be in the condi-
tion in which he himself left it.
The desire to make the exhibition as complete as possi-
ble, to put the visitor in possession of as many as possible
of the facts which he may need to enable him to arrive at
an independent judgment, has led to the admission of a
number of photogravure reproductions, not, indeed, in
themselves very satisfactory, but still valuable as parts of
a whole, where the originals themselves were not attaina-
ble. The proportion which these reproductions bear to
the whole number of prints catalogued is, moreover, com-
paratively small.
The question as to what shape the catalogue should take,
presented another difficulty. No doubt, for popular use,
it would have been desirable to give explanations of the
subjects, and biographical data concerning the persons
represented, and to explain the differences which constitute
terpreted by earlier writers, and accordingly uses in most cases a
combination of these letters, specially cut for his book, in the descrip-
tions which he gives. But the monogram of this shape is of very
rare occurrence on Rembrandt's etchings, the usual form being clearly
a combination of RHL, in script. Dr. W. Bode (" Rembrandt's
friiheste Thatigkeit") was the first to point this out, and to suggest
the interpretation, " Rembrandt Harmenszoon Lugdunensis," — an in-
terpretation which is borne out by the fact that this monogram dis-
appears after Rembrandt's removal from Leyden to Amsterdam. In
the present catalogue the monograms and signatures have been care-
fully noted, so far as that can be done without giving fac-similes.
VI INTRODUCTION.
the various " states." But that would have involved the
reprinting bodily of some one of the older catalogues, or
rather the construction of a new one from the materials
furnished by the older, — obviously an impossibility for a
variety of reasons, one of which it will be sufficient to state,
to wit, the bulk and expense of such a catalogue. It was
thought best, therefore, to give only such tacts as are
needed for an easy identification of each print, and the
reference to the principal among the more extended cata-
logues. To these facts have only been added a few notes
directing attention to the theories advanced touching the
authenticity of some of the plates ; correcting obvious mis-
takes and supplying omissions in the recognized cata-
logues ; and occasionally expressing an opinion calculated
to call upon the visitor to exercise his own independent
judgment. For, in truth, the exercise of such judgment is
sadly needed in this matter, which has been densely ob-
scured by tradition and untrustworthy " authority." As it
stands, the present pamphlet is a Complete Short Catalogue
of the Etched Work of Rembrandt., according to Blanc and
Vosmoer, even those pieces having been enumerated in it
which could not be shown, but which are mentioned by the
writers named.
In the attempt to establish the " states " of the prints
exhibited, Mr. Middleton has generally been followed,
although he has been accused of unnecessarily multiplying
states, and his book has been generally condemned (by
Mr. Haden) as "disingenuous and unreliable." It, never-
theless, contains much that is not to be found in the older
books, and is pretty closely adhered to, with occasional
divergences, by Mr. Dutuit, in his luxurious Rembrandt
catalogue, which is the latest work upon the subject. The
tendency to unnecessarily multiply states is common to all
catalogue makers, and the evils growing out of it are occa-
sionally referred to in the notes in this catalogue. It must
be acknowledged that the question of " states " is a difficult
one, and yet a necessary evil, so long as prints are objects
of commerce, and therefore of money value, and so long as
the " connoisseur " of the ordinary kind is more of a curi-
osity hunter than an intelligent appreciator of art. It is to
be hoped that in the good time coming, trial proofs will

no longer be described as states, and press scratches and
differences in printing will be recognized for what they
are. Until then will it be in vain to look for really intelli-
gible descriptions and for the absence of contradiction
among the cataloguers, and until then, also, the ideal Rem-
brandt catalogue will have to remain unwritten.
It would seem almost as if, with the facilities for study
and comparison now offered to the student, the advance
must be rapid, and the settling of disputed questions could
not be difficult. Books like those of Blanc and of Dutuit,
and the reproductions by Amand-Durand (unfortunately
not available in the preparation of this exhibition), are
undoubtedly valuable, but for detailed study they are,
nevertheless, unreliable. The photogravures in Blanc's
book may, perhaps, claim to be reliable as far as they go,
as they have been left unretouched, but for that very reason
they are often uncouth to look at, and sin by omission.
Besides, the process used, involving biting with acid (as
far as known), is naturally liable to produce unlooked-for
effects, and rudeness of line where it may be out of place.
Such plates, on the other hand, as those in Dutuit's book,
are more attractive to the eye, having been retouched.
This, however, makes them still more unreliable (see No.
83, note, of this catalogue), and when it comes to the imi-
tation of dry-point by roulette work, the distortion is com-
plete. For the illustrated catalogue of the future, there-
fore, with purely practical aims, photogravure seems out of
the question, and the simple photograph, at its best, much
to be preferred. This catalogue of the future, further-
more, will have to aim at the reproduction of nothing
but first states {not trial proofs, however), in contradis-
tinction from Blanc's and even from Dutuit's catalogue,
which in most cases reproduce late, and sometimes very
late states.
The mention of states naturally enough brings up the
inquiry as to the quality of the present exhibition. It may
be admitted at the outset that it cannot rival the London
exhibition in Hundred Guilders in the First State (see Mr.
Haden's "Monograph," pp. 2 and 3), or Rembrandts with
the Sabre ; that there are in it no ThoHnxs (except in
reproduction); no Buenos with the Black Ring (but a fine
VIU IMTRODUCTION.
one with the white ring, see No. 244); no Old Harings and
Turned-up Hats and Embroidered Mantles with "inesti-
mable dates and griffonneme?its'' — only the impressions
usually met with, and many of them in late states. But
there are in it, nevertheless, some fine impressions, and as
to the states, it must be recollected that in some cases the
earlier so-called states are really trial proofs, and that in
many others they are almost unprocurable, so that, as has
already been mentioned, even Blanc and Dutuit have had
to content themselves with reproducing later states, and
occasionally states later than those shown in this exhibi-
tion.
To students of various stages of progress and of various
aims, the material offered to increase their knowledge is
ample. Those curious about states, and the distinctions
which constitute them, will find what they seek in Nos. 69,
83,92, 102, 105, 107, 158, 163, 182, 209,248, 251,269,
276, 284, 285, 299, etc. ; proof and counterproof may be
compared in Nos. 86 and 225 ; the diflference between
an impression " showing plenty of bur," and another with
the bur all gone, is especially well seen in No. 280 ; the
deterioration of a plate by wearing may be observed in
such examples as Nos. 114, 243, and 269. For technical
study, nothing more attractive and instructive, and at the
same time more difficult and puzzling, can be conceived
of than an exhibition of Rembrandt's work. Never was
there an artist better skilled, more audacious, and more
successful in the use of all the means of which he had
knowledge. Needle and acid, the dry-point, the graver,
and the tricks of printing (except the modern device of
retromsage) he used separately or in combination as he
listed, and always with an harmonious and felicitous result.
Even the graver (which, however, to speak quite correctly,
he never used separately, but only for emphasizing and
finishing), he handled with an unconventional freedom that
made it match perfectly the unconcern of the point. (See
some remarks on the use of this instrurtient by his followers
under Nos. 454 and 464.) As examples of pure etching
Nos. 2 10 and 260 may be pointed out ; pure dry-point work is
seen in Nos. 165, 277, 299, 300, and probably also in No.
243 ; the combination of etched work and dry-point is
INTRODUCTION, IX
exemplified in such widely differing works as Nos. 263 and
269; in the production of No. 167 the graver has evi-
dently had a share, together with the other means familiar
to the artist. But when it comes to such elaborate work
as No. 253, what shall we say? Did the acid do any of
the work ? Or is it dry-point throughout, strengthened
here and there by the graver ? Of the artifices in printing,
the exhibition shows nothing, except in Nos. 318 and (in a
manner too obvious to be attributable to Rembrandt him-
self) 103. To see some of the finest effects attained by
the artist by these means, American students are compelled,
for the present, to go to the collection of Mr. Theodore
Irwin, of Oswego, N. Y.
The main interest of the exhibition for the larger public
will be found, however, — and quite legitimately, — in
its autobiographical character. Rembrandt was born at
Leyden on July 15, 1607 \ he was buried Oct. 8, 1669, in
the Westerkeric at Amsterdam. The earliest date upon his
etchings is 1628, before he left Leyden; the last date found
on his plates is 1661. All his etched work embraced
within these dates is here, and the record is extended even
further by the engravings, etc., executed from his paintings
and sketches, which carry us from 1627, the earliest known
date upon any painting by him, to within one year of his
death. A survey of the exhibition makes it clearer than
any amount of reading could do it, that Rembrandt was
indeed the first artist who may truly be called modern.
For not only is he a realist of the realists, but what makes
him still more modern is his intense subjectivity.
It would be impossible, indeed, to bring together such
another exhibition, from the hands of another artist, offer-
ing a similar personal interest. Like the pages of an
autobiography, it lays bare to the attentive visitor every
step forward, every transformation of fortune, even the
varying moods of him who left it behind. Some of the
entries, no doubt, are enigmas ; others are evidently fraud-
ulent interpolations, but enough of it is clear and intel-
ligible, and authoritative beyond questioning, to tell the
story. And it is essentially a sad story, however instruc-
tive,— showing how even he, the great manipulator, began
timidly with the brush as well as with the point, — not
IN TROD UCTION.
forgetting here the superb little portrait of his mother
(No. 4) which stands at the beginning as a prefiguration
of what was to come after, — and how the freedom of his
later years was the outcome only of the practice that went
before, — exhibiting him to us in the pride and triumph of
his youth, fond of show, ready to avail himself of the help
of others, rejoicing in the possession of Saskia, whose
radiant face smiles ever and anon upon us out of his work,
and then overwhelmed by misfortune, growing more sullen,
more sombre, more audacious, but still a giant in concep-
tion, and untiring of work, showing us, too, the place once
occupied by Saskia filled by the coarse woman who seems
to have been the companion of his later days, until we lose
sight of him altogether, and the light is quenched in dark-
ness. (See, however, Vosmaer, pp. 358 and 372.)
It remains to give thanks to those who have made this
exhibition possible, first of all to Mr. Henry F. Sewall, of
New York, from whose rich collection — the richest in
Rembrandts, and the most complete, historically, of all the
private collections of the United States — by far the larger
part of the prints shown has been drawn. Acknowledg-
ments for assistance given are due also to Dr. H, C.
Ahlborn, of Boston, and Messrs. H. Wunderlich & Co.,
of New York (for the loan of Blanc's and Dutuit's works,
neither .of which, unfortunately, is owned by the Musevim),
to Mr. Chas. Henry Hart, of Philadelphia, to Mr. Edward
VV. Hooper, of Cambridge, Mass., and to Mr. Edward
Robinson, of Boston.
The painting, " Danae and Jupiter " (?), kindly lent by
Mr. Francis Brooks, forms an interesting supplement to
the exhibition. It is mentioned in no list of Rembrandt's
works, and Mr. Vosmaer says: "I know of no painting
bearing the date of 1652." That is precisely the date upon
the canvas here shown. In its wealth of coloring it vividly
recalls the words used by Mr. Vosmaer in describing another
picture by Rembrandt, '* The Toilet of Bathseba," dated
1643 • "The hannony of the tints and of the general tone
is of great beauty. A color of bronze or of gold, inter-
woven with shades of violet, of brown, of green, and of
yellow ochre, envelops the whole in a scale at once warm,
poetical and mysterious." It appears to best advantage

in a strong light, thus bearing out Rembrandt's instructions
concerning another of his works. " Hang this picture in
a very strong light," he writes to Constantin Huijgens,
under date of January 27, 1639, "and so that it can be
seen at a distance. It will do best that way." The two
copies of portraits form part of the collections of the
Boston Athenseum, deposited with the Museum of Fine
Arts.

REMBRANDT'S ETCHINGS,
ARRANGED IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER ACCORDING
TO C. VOSMAER'S LIST.
1. St. Jerome in Meditation. — Bl 77; B 149; W
147 ; M 176; Du 145. — Assigned to before 1628 by V.,
to 1629 by M.
One state only. Shown in photogravure. From Bl.'s J?,
In his list V. places this print in the year 1629, but in the text of his
" Rembrandt " (2d ed., p. 87) he gives it as his opinion that it and the
following piece are anterior to the etchings of 1628.
2. St. Jerome on his Knees. — B io6 ; W in; M
175. — Assigned to before 1628 by V., to 1629 by M.
One state only. Not procurable.
See remarks under No. i.
3. Rembrandt's Mother. — Bl 192 ; B 352 ; W 347 ;
M 6 ; Du 340. — Monogram RHL. Dated 1628.
Two states ; 2d state shown. Sewall Coll.
Two impressions are exhibited, the upper washed with India ink in
the shadows. Most of the old women etched by R. are said to repre-
sent his mother, although there are certain considerations which argue
against the assumption. The woman here represented must be from
seventy to seventy -five years of age, and as R. was twenty-one years old in
1628, she must have been, taking it for granted that she was his mother,
from fifty-one to fifty-four at the time of his birth and still older, of
course, at the time of the birth of his younger sister Lijsbeth, which
would certainly be phenomenal. It is said, moreover, that R.'s mother
FIJiST PRINT ROOM.
was about seventy at the time of her death in 1640 (Vosmaer, 2d ed.,
p. 202). It follows that in 1628 she was only about fifty-eight years
old, which is altogether too young for the woman here represented.
" R.'s Grandmother" would therefore be a more fitting title. His
father's mother, who died in the year 1600, being out of the question,
there remains only the conjecture that the woman represented may be
his grandmother on the maternal side, Lijsbeth Cornelisdr.
4. Rembrandt's Mother. — Bl 193 ; B 354 ; W 348 ;
M 5 ; Du 341. — Monogram RHL. Dated 1628.
Two states ; 2d state shown. Sewall ColL
This magnificent little portrait which stands at the very threshhold
of R.'s career as an etcher, adds an artistic enigma to the chronological
riddle alluded to under No. 3. The woman represented might possibly
be R.'s mother, but how is this etching, complete artistically and tech-
nically, to be reconciled with much of the later work which goes under
the artist's name, such for instance as the heads No. 62 and'No. 87?
It seems impossible that the artist who did No. 3 should have done
also, some years later, No. 62, No. 87 and their congeners.
5. Head of a Woman. — Bl 252 ; B 375 ; W 369 ;
M 3 ; Du 363. — Assigned to 1628 by V. and by M.
One state only. Shown in photogravure. From BiJs Ji,
V. believes this also to be a portrait of R.'s mother, and a study for
No. 4.
6. The Presentation, with the Angel. — Bl 24 ;
B51; W56; M178; DU56. — Monogram i^iTZ (the hori-
zontal bar of the H omitted). Dated 1630.
Two states (?) ; 2d state shown. Sewall Coll.
M. describes only two states. An impression of a later state, not
described, is in the Gray Collection.
7. The Circumcision. (Small, upright.) — Bl 21;
B 48 ; W 53 ; M 179 ; Du 53. — Assigned to 1630 by V.
and by M.
One state only. Sewall Coll.

upright.) —Bl 37 ; B 66; W 70; M 177; Du 69. — The

REMBRANDT'S ETCHINGS.
One of the earlier states, with considerably less work upon it,
especially in the hood, is reproduced in Dutuit's book. The later
retouches are supposed to be not by R. The example of this plate may
serve to show the often unimportant character of the distinctions which
mark "states."

M. considers the plate in its later states to have been worked upon
by other hands than those of R. The age of the person represented
again inspires doubt. In 1631 R. was twenty-four. This youth, de-
spite the down about the mouth, looks hardly more than eighteen or
twenty at the utmost. The curious may find Mr. Haden's opinion
of this plate, " Monograph," pp. 3 and 23.

If 1 63 1 is the correct date, the head cannot be R.'s. The work, so

of later date.

trust of the plate," but hesitates " to pronounce upon it," as to its prob-
able author. In his opinion, also, " the ordonnance of the plate " is
not R.'s. For similarity in composition, compare the drawing in the

V. assigns this plate to about 1632, not only on the evidence of the
style of the work, " la gravure," but also on that of the age of the sit-
ter. As Coppenol was i^orn in 1598, he was thirty-four years of age in
1632. He certainly looks much older in this portrait. Compare No.

On the impression shown the date, hardly visible, looks more like
1642 than 1632. It has hardly any value, however, as it is evidently a
later addition, probably by another hand. Moreover, the date 1642
would place this plate, which is probably the tamest of all of R.'s
landscapes, into the same year with " The Three Trees," and later than
much of his far more vigorous work of the same kind.

According to M., this plate was executed partly by some pupil of R.,

(" Monograph," p. 26) thinks it entirely the work of a pupil, possibly
Bol. Bl., although controverting Mr. Haden's opinion, likewise, in
accord with others, puts a low estimate upon the plate. Longhi, the

declares it to be his favorite among R.'s etchings.

Dutuit's book, but one of the alleged distinctive marks of this state,
the failure of the acid in the shading between the wings of the half-
closed door on the left of the print, is lost in the reproduction. The
three impressions here shown as 3d states differ slightly. No trace
whatever of the full name, " Rembrandt," can be discovered (even
under the magnifying glass) on the side of the vessel on a, but an
abbreviation of the name, " Rembr.," has been added, apparently by
hand. The second impression b, with text on the back, corresponds to
tlie description ordinarily given of the 3d state. Impression c shows
some additional work in the shading between the wings of the door,
and would, therefore, strictly speaking, constitute a 4th state, although
it is in every way finer and more desirable than b, showing that the
paltry differences which generally constitute " states " are not always
to be relied upon as evidences of quality. — V. proposes a new title for
this plate, viz. : " The History of St. Paul " (see his " Rembrandt," 2d
ed., pp. 124 and 125). Messrs. Haden and Middleton think the plate
was etched by one of R.'s pupils, possibly Bob, and M. is of opinion
that " the print itself has very little merit." Bl., on the contrary, con-
siders it " one of the happiest compositions of R."

Bl. says that the description of the states of this plate has hitherto
been unreliable, but that the three states described by him, according
to Weber, settle the question. M. refuses to recognize the three states
and allows only two. In spite of all this, however, it is still a difficult
matter to determine the states, from the descriptions given. Im
pression a would seem to be M.'s 2d state, as it has the diagonal
scratch in the white part of the foreground, etc. In impression b, on
the other hand, — evidently in all essentials the same state, — this
scratch is not seen, and there is also'noticeable a difference in the shad-
ing over the left foot of Jesus. It is curious that a writer like Bl., with
his practical knowledge, should place any reliance upon such marks,
for a little experience at the printing press is sufficient to show their
unrelialjility. A scratch on the copper may result from a particle of
hard matter in the rag, and may show in a number of impressions,
until, the printer discovering it, it is removed by him with a touch of
the burnisher. Much more interesting is it to note the evident influ-
ence of Rubens in the figure of Jesus, not only in the head, but in
the whole of the pose. According to Mr. Iladen, Gerard Dow is the
reputed author of the composition of this plate .

Although M. allows only one state, he nevertheless says that " the plate

again very apparent in this etching, more especially in the figure of Jesus.

v., following the usual reading, makes the date (which can be read
only with difficulty) 1654. But it is evidently 1634 in consonance
with the character of the work, which is that of R.'s earlier period.

These companion pieces represent peasants rather than beggars.
The last word in the legend on No. 95 is always given as ^out, but
it is clearly hovii. According to Mr. liaden, "Rembrandt copied"
these two plates from Hans Sebald Beham, and " Savry etched " them.
To show how closely R. " copied ", Beham's engravings, in faithful
reproductions, have been placed alongside of the etchings.

This etching has also been called " Saskia," which is simply a liljel

rejected, that would seem more natural. Even the more preferable ist

of its reputed authorship.

The recklessness and lack of judgment with which R.'s name has
been connected with the male heads etched by or attributed to him, are
easily seen upon a comparison of Nos. 104 and 105. M. calls the
latter a " Portrait, Unknown." V. thinks it rather a study from R.'s
figure than a portrait. But the face certainly has a marked individual-
ity, and the mole at the right of the nose would hardly be in place in
an ideal head.

The difference between the two " states" of this plate shows plainly
the puerile character of many of the distinctions involved. M.'s order
of states, which is the usual order, has here been followed, although
Bl., who inverts it, is no doubt correct. There do not, in fact,
exist two states. The dark spots around the mouth and on the fore-
head and sole of the man under the ox are due evidently to an acci-
dent, and were burnished out or disappeared of themselves, after a
number of impressions had been taken. They are, therefore, evidences
of priority rather than otherwise. The figure of Christ, it is well
known, is a reversed copy of a figure in Dlirer's Little Passion.

Upon the three etchings catalogued under Nos. 11 5-1 17 appears the
mysterious word which has been read Venetiis and reneius, l)ut which,
according to V., reads gcretuckenU, that is to say, rctotiched. It is
likely, therefore, that these plates are the work of a pupil, retouched by
R. The signatures on Nos. 116 and 117 have peculiarities which
plainly distinguish them from other signatures usually considered gen-
uine. Mr. Haden's opinion of these plates can be read on p. 28 of his
" Monograph."

Of all the ridiculous things attributed to R., this little head is the

Dated 1637.
One state only. Sewall Coll.
R.'s signature about this time, beginning with plate No. 148, shows
curioxis changes. There is something fanciful in the signatures on
plates 149, 150, and 153, which at first sight seems to throw a doubt
upon their genuineness.

154. An Old Man, wearing a rich velvet cap. — Bl
269; B 313; W 314; M 131; Du 309. — Signed: Retn-
braiidtf. Dated 1637.
One state only. Sewall Coll.
The name and date have been erased on the impression shown.
155. Saskia, and two other heads of women, one
asleep. — Bl 251 ; B 368 ; W 362 ; M 130; Du 356. —

156. Adam and Eve. — Bl i ; B 28 ; W 35 ; M 206 ;
Du 35. — Signed : Reinbrandt. ft. Dated 1638.
Two states ; 2d state shown : —
{a?) Original impression. Sewall Coll.
{b.) The " deceptive copy," described by Bartsch.
Sezvall Coll.
The copy is shown to put collectors on their guard. Bl., in his
"Oeuvre de R." of 1873, reproduces this copy as the original. In the
later " Oeuvre " of 1880, the original is reproduced, and the copy is
alluded to in the text, but the reader's attention is not called to the error
in the previous edition, — a precaution which certainly ought to have
been taken, as collectors are likely to be misled, and have been mis-
led, by Bl.'s curious mistake.
157. Abraham caressing Isaac. — Bl 4 ; B 33 ; W
135*; M 203 ; Du 38. — Signed: Rembrandt./. Assigned
to about 1637 to 1639 by V., to 1636 by M.

M. is inclined to doubt this piece, and to attribute it to Bol.

REMBRANDT'S ETCHINGS, 29
159. St. Catherine. (The Little Jewish Bride.) —
Bl 200; B 342; W 338; M 135; Du 331. — Signed:
Rembrandt f. Dated 1638. The whole reversed.
One state only. Gray Coll.
The fact that the writing is reversed, but more especially the style of
the figures, throws a strong doubt upon the genuineness of the
signature.
160. Rembrandt, wearing a mezetin cap with a
feather. — BI233; B20; W20; M134; Du2o. — Signed:
Rembrandt, f. Dated 1638.
One state only. Sewall Coll.
Bl. describes two states, but according to M. the variations are due to
wearing. Upon the impression shown there are some slight retouches
in India ink. Most writers go out of their way to give special praise to
this awkward and ugly portrait, which cannot possibly represent R.
Note the wooden stump of a hand, the unintelligent way in which the
folds of the cloak are indicated, and the clumsiness with which the
ornaments on the cloak are etched. No beauty of impression can
remedy these defects.
161. Rembrandt in a flat cap. — Bl 216; B 26 ; W
26 ; M 133 ; Du 26. — Assigned to 1638 by V. and by M.
Signed: Rembrandt very faintly in the ist state; name re-
etched by another hand in the 2d state.
Two states; ist state shown. Sewali Coll.
On the impression exhibited the name is not visible. V. considers
this piece doubtful.
162. The Sleeping Dog. — Bl 352 ; B 158 ; W 155 ;
M 267 ; Du 154. — Assigned to 1638 by V., to 1640 by M.
Three states ; 3d state shown. Sewall Coll.
163. The Presentation in the Vaulted Temple.
— Bl 22 ; B 49 ; W 54 ; M 208 ; Du 54. — V. says that
the plate is dated 1639, which is a mistake ; M. assigns it
to 1639.
Four states ; three shown.
{a.) ist state, shown in photogr. From Bl.^s R.
(b.) 2d state. Seivall Coll.
(e.) 3d state, Setvall Coll,
30 FIRST PRINT ROOM.
Impression b is cut and repaired along the upper margin. Although
the plate itself is not dated, there is a reversed copy of it (not described
in any catalogue, but an impression in the Museum) which is marked
Rembrand (no f) f, 1639.
164. The Death of the Virgin. — Bl 70; B 99 ; W
104; M 207 ; Du 102. — Signed: Rembrandt/. Dated
1639.
Four states ; 3d state shown.
{a.) Showing plate marks and full lower margin.
Edward W. Hooper,
{Ik) Without these. Sewall Coll.
The impression lent by Mr. Hooper is shown framed on top of the
case in the middle of the room. The wrong use made of the word
" state " is well illustrated by the so-called " states " of this plate.
Speaking of the 3d state, M. says, " We may, no doubt, regard this as
the finished plate, the ist and 2d states being trial proofs." The so-
called 3d state is, therefore, in reality the ist state.
165. Youth Surprised by Death. — Bl 79 ; B 109 ;
W 1 13 ; M 265 ; Du no. — Signed : Rembrandt f. Dated
1639.
One state only. Sewall Coll.
166. The Receiver Uytenbogaert. (The Gold-
weigher.) — Bl 1S9 ; B 281 ; W 283 ; M 138 ; Du 271. —
Signed: Rembrandt ft. Dated 1639.
Three states; two shown: —
{a.) 2d state. Sewall Coll.
{b.) 3d state. Sewall Coll.
Concerning Mr. Haden's theories about this plate, viz., that only the
head and shoulders of Uytenbogaert are by R., the rest by Bol, see his
" Monograph," p. 30.
167. Rembrandt leaning on a stone sill. — Bl 234;
B21; W 21; M 137; Du 21. — Signed: Rembrandt f.
Dated 1639.

REMBRANDT'S ETCHlkGS. 3 1
i6g. A Physician Feeling the Pulse of a Patient.
— Bl ii6 ; B 155 ; W 152 ; M 143 ; Du 151. — Assigned
to 1639 by V. and by M.
One state only. Shown in photogravure. From BiJs R,
Compare with the physician in No. 164.
170. The Decapitation of St. John, the Baptist.
— Bl 40 ; B 92 ; W 97 ; M 209 ; Du 74. — Signed : I^em-
brandtf. Dated 1640.
Two states ; 2d state shown. Sewall Coll.
M. describes the executioner as "bared to the waist," which is a
mistake. In the ist state (reproduced in Dutuit's book), the execu-
tioner is clothed, as in the state here shown.
171. The Triumph of Mordecai. — Bl 12; B 40;
W 44 ; M 228 ; Du 48. — Assigned to about 1640 to 1645
by v., to 1 65 1 by M.
One state only. Gray Coll.
According to Bl., there is a 2d state, retouched. The name, Rem-
brant (without^), on the impression shown, has evidently been written
upon it. As portraits of the artist and his wife are so eagerly sought out
in R.'s etchings, it is a wonder that no one has yet pointed out the
resemblance to them which may be detected in the two figures on the
balcony to the right, supposed to represent King Ahasuerus and his
queen Esther.
172. The Virgin Mourning the Death of Jesus.
— Bl 59 ; B 85 ; W 90 ; M 202 ; Du 91. — Assigned to
1640 by v., to 1636 by M.
One state only. Shown in photogravure. Fro77i Bl.^s R.
Bl. and W. describe two states. Bl., although he retains this plate,
is inclined to attribute it to Bol, and sees Italian influences in it.
173. The Holy Family. (The Virgin with the
Basket of Linen.) — Bl 33 ; B 62 ; W 66 ; M 182 ; Du
65. — Monogram RHL. Assigned to 1640 by V,, to 1632
by M.
One state only. Sewall Coll.
32 PlJRST PRINT ROOM.
The monogram favors the earlier year. W. and Bl. describe two states,
and M.'s reasons for discarding them hardly seem satisfactory. V. says,
" This piece is in the Italian manner."
174. The Crucifixion. Small oval plate. — Bl 54;
B 79 ; W 85 ; M 222 ; Du 86. — Assigned to about 1640
by v., to 1648 by M.
Two states ; 2d state shown. Sewall Coll.
175. The Sick Woman. (Saskia Dying.) — Bl
202; B 359; W 353; M 150; Du 347. — Assigned to
about 1640 by V., to 1672 by M.
One state only. Sewall Coll.
V. does not share the opinion of Bl. and others, that this is a portrait
of Saskia.
176. The Skater. — Bl 121 ; B 156 ; W 153 ; M 103 ;
Du 152. — Assigned to between 1636 and 1640 by V., to
1633 by M.
One state only. Shown in photogravure. From Bl.^s R.
177. A Young Woman with a basket. — Bl 240; B
356 ; W 350 ; M 151 ; Du 344. — Assigned to about 1640
by v., to 1642 by M.
Two states; ist state shown. Sewall Coll.
178. An Old Man with a divided fur cap. — Bl 271 ;
B 265 ; W 267 ; M 145 ; Du 280. — Signed : Rembrandt f.

ing). Date read 1640 by V, ; assigned to 1649 by M.

i8i. The Adoration of the Shepherds. Night
effect. — Bl 19 ; B 46; W 51 ; M 230 ; Du 51. — Assigned
to between 1632 and 1640 by V., to 1652 by M.
Six states ; two shown : —
(rt-.) 2d state (?). Seivall Coll.
(/;.) 6th state (?). Scwall CoU.
Both M. and Bl. describe six states, but their descriptions are at
variance with one another, and do not agree with the prints them-
selves. The trouble probably arises from the description of trial proofs
as states, and from variations in printing. Very likely, impression a is
the 1st state, and earlier impressions are only trial proofs.
182. The Flight into Egypt. — Bl 27 ; B 54 ; W 59 ;
M 181 ; Du 59, — Assigned to between 1632 and 1640 by
V,, to 1630 by M.

Three states ; 3d state shown : —
(a.) Original impression. Sewall Coll.
(^.) Photogravure reproduction. From Bl.^s R.
The two impressions have been hung to show the curious difference
in the lines to the right of the figure, which may possibly be due to
intentional suppression in the printing. A comparison of these impres-
sions with Fig. 6, on Plate I, of M.'s catalogue, will show the unwar-
rantable carelessness with which many of the figures in this l)ook have
been drawn, making them a stumbling-block rather than a help to the
collector.
189. A Beggar, with a wooden leg. — Bl 142; B 179;
W 176; M 35; Du 175. — Assigned to between 1632 and

igi. An Orchard with a Barn. — BI330; B 230;

Four states (?) j 3d state shown. Sewall Coll.
The cataloguers disagree sadly in their descriptions of the states of
this plate. M. allows only two. In the ist the ground in the lower
right corner is only partially shaded, in the 2d there is more shading,
but still the extreme lower right corner is blank. M. admits that there
are other variations, but he says, " The latest impressions are so bad
that I think it is not worth our while to describe them." Nevertheless,
both Bl. and Du. reproduce the state of the plate shown in this
exhibition, which is certainly later than M.'s 2d state, and there is a
still later state which is not quite so bad as to make it unworthy of
being looked at. There would seem to be, therefore, at least four
states, viz-., ist and 2d as described by M. (for distinctive marks, see
his Plate XI, Fig. 57); 3d as here shown; 4th in which the gable end
of the building has been worked over, new dry-point work is observa-
ble in the trees, and attempts have been made to strengthen the rocks
to the left.
193. The Coach Landscape. — B2i5;W2i2; Du

by M. and Bl.

A photogravure reproduction is given by Dutuit, who, however, also
considers the piece doubtful.

REMBRANDT'S ETCHINGS. 39
V. specially says that the date is 1642, and not 1648. M. neverthe-
less reads the latter date, and, on the evidence of the impression shown,
he is certainly right. He thinks, however, that the etched work in this
plate is earlier than the dry pointing (which includes the date), and
bears a resemblance to the work of 1642.

The reproduction shown is not from the original, of which only one
or two copies are known, but from a copy l)y Basan. On this copy
the date is plainly 1645. ^- '^^^ Du. claim, however, that the original
is dated 1658. "Doubtful," says V., " I do not believe it is by R."
How this hideous and ill-drawn portrait came to be admitted among
R.'s work at all, it would be difficult to say. Still, all the catalogues,
except B., admit it, although they cannot even agree upon the meaning
of the head covering worn by the man, one (W.) declaring it to be " a
cap, the end of which comes down on the right "; a second (Bl.) " un
bonnet de coton, dont la m^che penche sur le cote droit " (say a cotton
nightcap); a third (M.) "a soft cap with a feather passing across the
front," while the fourth (Du.), more guarded than his brethren, contents
himself by describing it as " une espece de bonnet." If Basan has
copied the signature with only approximate correctness, that alone ought
to condemn the plate.

Impression d is the one described by M. from the collection of the
Rev. Burleigh James. Mr. Haden says that " Omval is not a village,
but a bend in the river Amstel, near Amsterdam," and that, therefore,
the plate ought to be called " The Omval." V., on the contrary, him-
self a Hollander, speaks of the subject quite explicitly as " the view
of Omval, a village in the environ? of Amsterdain."

M. claims that in the background we have a sketch " executed at a
much earlier time, and which was entirely overlooked when R. worked
these studies upon the plate," all of which is contradicted by the com-
position of the plate and the way in which the cavity of the fireplace,
instead of being " entirely overlooked," is made to serve a purpose in
throwing the standing figure into relief.

M. thinks that the work on the ist state of this abandoned plate is
by R., and that possibly the additional work in the 2d state is by an
assistant. Mr. Iladen opines (" Monograph," p. 31) that R. only laid
in the subject, as shown in the unfinished part, and that Bol was
charged with finishing it. In accordance with his theory, that R. ceased
to avail himself of pupil work in his etchings about 1639, he assigns
this plate to an earlier period than either V. or M.

This piece is usually said to be " in the manner of Diirer." Mr.
Haden affirms that it is from a drawing by Titian, " differing in nothing
from the etching except in the absence of the lion, and the presence of
a recumbent figure of Venus in place of the saint." V. has it that " the
landscape is quite in the style of the view of Ransdorp, Bl. 319 [No. 264

Mr. Haden is of opinion that the motive for the background in

According to V., this is a view of the village of Loenen. In later
and more frequent states, the tower appears in a ruined condition,
hence the name of the piece. The impression shown, it will be ob-
served, has been cut on the right side, and then joined together again,
but the pieces seem to be printed on paper of different quality. Curi-
ously enough, the impression from which Bl.'s reproduction was made
has evidently been cut and joined together again in precisely the same
place.

Gray Coll.
According to Mr. Haden (" Monograph," p. 35), fine impressions
from this celebrated plate in the 2d state are preferable to those in the
1st state. There is a remarkable difference in the measurements given
of this plate. All measurements of prints must necessarily be approxi-
mate only, as the stretching of the dampened paper and its shrinkage
upon drying are beyond control or calculation. Differences of one cen-
timetre, however, seem unexplainable. The true approximate measure-
ments, based upon the four impressions here shown, are : - .395 at the
bottom; -.397 at the top; - .277 at the right; -.281 at the left.
Only Bartsch and Claussin, and Dutuit, give measurements corresponding
to these, viz., the two former (ignoring the difference between top and
bottom and right and left) 14 p., 81. in breadth, lO p. 5 1. in height;
the latter - .396 by 281. W. gives 15.20 inches at bottom, 15.30 at
top, 10.90 for height; M. - .385 by- .279; Bl. - .387 by -.281.

A view, according to V., of the country seat of the Receiver Uyten-

If the insignificant distinctions which separate the " states " of this
plate are to be -taken into account, the impression shown will have to
be placed between the ist and 2d states, for while the small white spot
on the left of the plate has been worked over, the back of David's

This plate is sometimes called " Le Petit La Tombe " (The Little La

Tombstone, or Tomb). It is said to have been owned in R.'s time by a
dealer in prints, named La Tombe or de la Tombe, and, to distinguish
it, possibly, from other larger plates belonging to him, was called " The
Little La Tombe," which became in French "le petit La Tombe."

For a list of the plagiarisms charged against R., see Mr. Iladen's
" Monograph," pp. 18 and 19. In this plate he is said to have imitated
Mantegna's " Virgin and Child," B. 8. The reduced copy of this
engraving, exhibited below the etching, will enable the visitor to judge
for himself of the extent of imitation practised by R. in this case.

M. opines that the variations after the 4th state are not by R., an
opinion evidently not shared by Bl. A remote resemblance in the gen-
eral ordering of the plate to Lucas van Leyden's engraving of the same
scene, has caused it to be spoken of as " in the manner of Lucas van
Leyden." The small autotype of Lucas's composition, placed alongside
of R.'s etching, or rather dry-point, will enable the visitor to form an
independent judgment of this charge of plagiarism.

Impression b is shown framed on a stand on the table. M. and
others read the date 1653, but the line which apparently makes a 3
of the second 5 is evidently part of a shading line in the foreground.
It is well known that the theories and differences of opinion called forth
by this plate are of the most extraordinary kind, and students will not
fail, therefore, to read what has been said about it by Hamerton, Blanc,
Iladen (" Monograph," pp. 37 and 51), and others.

W. and Bl. describe three states. The impression exhibited, which is
on vellum (or on pig-skin?), shows certain peculiarities which seem to
distinguish it from these states, and place it between the 2d and 3d.
Notice especially the absence of the harsh dry-point lines in the face
and hair. The frequent occurrence of impressions on vellum about
this time is worthy of remark. One of the plates for a Spanish book
is printed on it (1655), and it was used for some of the earlier states
of the Three Crosses. See also next number.

This is one of the prints for which, according to Mr. Iladen, R.
adopted a background from some design l)y Titian or Campagnola. A
remarkably fine impression, treated almost like a monotype in the wip-
ing, is in the collection of Mr. Theodore Irwin, of Oswego, N. Y.

Four states ; (?) state shown. Sewall Coll.
It is impossible, from the confused and insufficient descriptions, to
make out the states of this plate. The impression shown is certainly of
a later state. The wonder is that the plate is not among those classed
as doubtful by the cataloguers. It is one of the worst with which R.'s
name is connected. Note, for only one thing, the figure of St. John,
muffled up in a cloak like the traditional Italian brigand of the stage,
posed in an awkward contortion, and drawn like a bundle of clothing,
without any feeling for the human figure.

(no n). Dated 1661.
Three states (?) ; 2d (?) state shown. Sewall Coll.
The tinting observable in the impression shown is due to ink left
upon the plate in printing. Bl. and B. describe only one state, W.
describes two, M. reduces W.'s states to the rank of 2d and yX, and
describes a new ist. This is, however, as he himself says, " a trial proof."
The only difference between it and his 2d state consists in the deepen-
ing of a shadow. It is clear, therefore, that it is not " a state " at all.
M. thinks that this was the last plate etched by R.

The impression shown does not agree with any of the descriptions
of states, neither do the reproductions given by Bl. and by Du. As
this is evidently surface printing, i. c, printing from a relief block cut
either on wood or on metal, some queer " plugging " must have been
done for the pleasure of manufacturing the various states described.

supposed to have executed, the originals which they trans-
late. It has been impossible, however, to exhibit them in
the order of the catalogue, owing to considerations of size,
etc. For this reason the case number is given after each
title, which will enable the visitor to find any given number
without difficulty. Cases 30^to 39 are in the southern half

ETCHINGS
EXECUTED BY ARTISTS BELONGING TO REMBRANDT'S
CIRCLE.
PIETER LASTMAN. (Case 12.)
Born (at Amsterdam ?) about 1580 to 1584 ; died (in the
same city?) about 1649. Lastman was R.'s last teacher.
— See Vosmaer, "Rembrandt," 2d ed., Chap. VIII, and
pp. 472 to 481.
426. Judah and Thamar. — Bartsch, Rembr. Cat.,
II. P- T-ZZ. No. 74.
Two states; 2d state shown. . Gray Coll.
Possibly only after Lastman. See Vosmaer, p. 79.
SALOMON SAVRY. (Case 12.)
Engraver and etcher, who is said to have worked at
Amsterdam from 1620 to 1650. As early as 1632, in the
year, that is to say, which is marked upon the original, he
copied R.'s " Ratkiller," No. 72 of this catalogue (Vosmaer,
p. 99). Mr. Haden, "Monograph." p. 18, would have it
that he etched also the two plates, Nos. 95 and 96 of this
catalogue, generally believed to be byR. — See Andrescn,
''Handbuch," I, p. 437.
74 SECOND PRINT ROOM.
427. Cornells Claesz. Anslo. — Copy of R.'s etch-
ing, No. 206 of this catalogue. Attributed to Savry by B.
Sewall Coll.
428. The Good Samaritan. — Copy of R.'s etching,
No 80 of this catalogue. Attributed to Savry by W.
Sewall Coll,
Both these plates are marked S. Savry excud. (cut off in the " Samar-
itan"), but this in reality signifies only that they were published by
him.
SALOMON KONINCK. (Case 12.)
Born at Amsterdam 1609, died about 1668. A pupil of
N. Moeijart, who adopted R.'s style. (Not to be con-
founded with Philip de Koninck, one of R.'s own pupils.)
— See Vosmaer, pp. 63 and 97 ; Bartsch's Rembr. Cata-
logue, II ; Claussin, Supplement.
429. Bust of an Old Man in Profile. — Bartsch,
Rembr. Cat., II, p. 130, 68 ; Claussin, Supplement, p. 132,
75-
One state only. Sewall Coll,
According £0 B. and to CI., this plate is signed and dated S. Koninck
Ao. 1628, which does not quite correspond with what is left of the
inscription on the impression shown, viz. : An 1628. The name has
evidently been cut off. Judging from the date, this plate must have
been executed before K. was influenced by R.
M. RODDERMONDT. (Case 12.)
(Rodermont, Rodermondt, Rottermondt ; called also
Aegidius Paul, or Paul Aegidius, R.) Dutch painter and
etcher, who is said to have worked about 1640. Mr.
Haden ("Monograph," pp. 17, 18, and 26) would make
him responsible for some of R.'s work.

JAN JORIS VAN VLIET. (Case 14.)
Born at Delft, in 161 o, painter and etcher. "Van Vliet
is especially known," says Vosmasr, p. 99, "by his etch-
ings after Rembrandt. He was the first who made it his
aim to reproduce the works of the young master," — See

FERDINAND BOL. (Cases 16 and 18.)
Born at Dordrecht towards i6il,but lived in Amsterdam since
childhood; died at Amsterdam, 1661. Rembrandt is named as his only
master. See Vosmser, pp. 138 and 139; Bartsch, Rembr. Cat. II;

States (?). Gray Coll.
Not mentioned in any of the catalogues, and not at all like Bol's
work. The same design has been etched by some one else, and signed
Rembrandt f. 1636. An impression of this version is also shown.
JAN LIEVENS. (Cases 26 and 28.)
Born at Leyden, 1607. It is generally stated that he died at Ant-
werp in 1663, but in 1672 he was still living, and again in his native
city. Lievens, like R., was a pupil of Lastman, and only a follower of
his greater townsman. About 1634 he was at Antwerp, and later his
style was influenced by Rubens and the Italians. See Vosmser, p. 97,
and elsewhere; Bartsch, Rembr. Cat., II; Claussin, Supplement. For
Mr. Haden's theories concerning Lievens, see " Monograph," p. 16
and elsewhere.
78 SECOND PRINT ROOM.
450. The Virgin and Child. — Bl i ; CI i.
Two states ; ist state shown. Sewall Coll.
This is evidently in L.'s later Italian, or " noble " manner.
451. The Resurrection of Lazarus. — B3; CI 3.
Two states ; 2d state shown. Sewall Coll.
452. St. Jerome. — B 5; CI 5.
Three states; 2d state shown. Sewall Coll.
453. An Hermit. (St. Francis.) — B 7 ; CI 7.
Two states ; 2d state shown. Seivall Coll.
454. St, Anthony. — B 8 ; CI 8.
Two states ; 2d state shown. Seivall Coll.
This is an extreme case of the attempted free use of the graver, on a
plate apparently underbitten, often met within L.'s work. R. evidently
used the graver upon his plates in a most skilful manner, and with a
dexterity and freedom that made it harmonize admirably with the work
of the acid and the dry-point. His follower attempts the same thing,
but, lacking the skill, the freedom degenerates into brutality.
455. Oriental Figure. — B 12; CI 12.
Two states ; 2d state shown. Seivall Coll.
In this plate the retouches were etched in, but with as little success
as in the case of the retouches put in with the graver.
456. Bust of an Oriental. — B 13 ; CI 13.
Two states ; 2d state shown. Sewall Coll.
The curious crayon-like texture noticeable in this plate may be due
to shallow biting and lines run together, or in parts, as Mr. Jas. D.
Smillie suggests, to the grinding down of heavily overbitten lines.
- 457. Bust of an Oriental. — B 18 ; CI 18.
Two states; 2d (.'') state shown. Sewall Coll.
Both B. and CI. say that I^.'s initials are to be seen on the left side,
about midway, but they are not to be found in this impression. See
R.'s etching. No. 1 16 of this catalogue, of which this plate is supposed
to be a reversed copy. See also Mr. Haden's remarks, "Monograph,"
pp. 28 and 29.
ETCHINGS BY LI EVENS. 79
458. Bust of an Old Man. — B 22 ; CI 22.
Two states (?); ist state (?) shown. Sewall Coll.
B. and CI. describe only one state, with F. van Wyngaerde's address.
As there is no address on this impression, it would seem to be a ist
state. Or is it a copy, since it is numbered 4 in upper right-hand
corner, as if it belonged to a series?
459. Bust of a Young Man. — B 26 ; CI 26.
One state only. Sewall Coll.
The breadth of the impression shown does not correspond with the
descriptions, but it has evidently been cut. Compare No. 125 of the
present catalogue, of which this is supposed to be a free copy.
460. Bust of a Young Woman. — B27; CI 27.
One state only. Sewall Coll,
This impression has likewise been cut.

Two states ; 2d state shown. Sewall Coll,
462. Head of an Old Man, — B 46 ; CI 46.

Of L.'s later time, after he had gone to Antwerp? The stippling in
this head reminds one of the similar treatment adopted by Van Dyck.

464. Portrait of Ephraim Bonus. — B 56 ; CI 55.

Finished with free graver work, like the others of L.'s large portraits,
but much more successfully and carefully than the St. Anthony. See
R.'s portrait of Bonus, No. 244 of this catalogue.
465. Portrait of Justus Vondel. — B 57 ; CI 56.

measurement (unless this should be a copy, which is not likely) is 10
pouces 2 lignes by 8, from platemark to platemark. See the remarks
about graver work under No. 454.
PAINTINGS.
469. Danae and Jupiter? — Signed andjdated 1652.
Francis Brooks.
The title hardly suits the picture. The male figure is Mercury. The
woman to whom he offers the bag cannot be Danae, as the scene
takes place in the open air, while the mother of Perseus was kept by
her father in a subterranean room, through the roof of which Jupiter
entered in the form of a shower of gold. R., however, was evidently not
a strict interpreter of ancient myths. In the etching. No. t,t, of this cata-
logue, he introduces the shower of gold and the satyr, thus combining
the two myths of Danae and of Antiope. The picture is not mentioned
by V. See also the remarks in the introduction.
470. Rembrandt ? — Date ? — Original where ?
Boston Athenmim.
Copy by an imknown artist.
471. Rembrandt. — Dated 1634. — Original in the
Pitti Palace, Florence. Boston Athenceum.
Copy by an unknown artist. See G. F. Schmidt's etching, reversed,
No. 384 of this catalogue.
FINDING LIST
FOR THE CATALOGUES OF BLANC, BARTSCH, WILSON,
MIDDLETON, AND DUTUIT.
To locate in this exhibition by means of the following
list any of Rembrandt's etchings, according to the num-
bers given to them by Bl, B, W, M, or Du, find the
corresponding number in the first column. The number
on the same line with it, in the column set apart for the
catalogue used, will be the number under which the etch-
ing sought is here catalogued. For instance : the etching
wanted being B 225, find this number in the first column,
then read the number on the same line with it in the col-
umn headed B, which in this case is 211, and under this
number the etching looked for will be found in the present
catalogue. The numbers omitted indicate prints which
are omitted also in this catalogue, because they are not
procurable, and are described by neither V. nor Bl.
