Bald Headed Man in Profile Right: the Artist's Father (?).

Etching and drypoint, 1630. 70x58 mm; 2¾x2¼ inches, narrow to thread. Biörklund's third state (of 3), after the reduction of the plate; Usticke's second state (e) (of 2); White and Boon's third state (of 3); New Hollstein's fifth state (of 5). A superb impression of this very scarce etching with crisp, partially inky plate edges and strong contrasts and with touches of burr on the face and moustache. Bartsch 313; Biörklund 37-B; Hollstein (White and Boon) 313; New Hollstein 62.
