The Metropolitan Museum of Art offers a
description of this print: https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/369865.
Condition: a richly inked and well-printed
(near faultless) impression with generous margins. Beyond minor marks and spots
of roughening in the margins, the sheet is in an excellent condition with no
tears, holes, folds, significant stains or foxing.
I am selling this fascinating translation into line
of a Rembrandt painting that the artist owned in his vast collection—I use the
word “fascinating” as (for me) Denon’s copy shows the attributes of the
painting that caught his eye— for the total cost of AU$256 (currently US$164.22/EUR165.19/GBP142.54
at the time of this listing) including postage and handling to anywhere in the
world, but not (of course) any import duties/taxes imposed by some countries.
If you are interested in this bold
interpretation of Rembrandt’s composition, please contact me
(oz_jim@printsandprinciples.com) and I will send you a PayPal invoice to make
the payment easy.
