Samuel Menasseh ben Israel Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn

A very fine, early impression of the rare second state, before the reworking of the shadow above the forehead and before the addition of further lines of hair on the left side of the face. With fine margins of up to 1 cm around the platemark. The sitter is Rembrandt’s neighbour Menasseh ben Israel, rabbi of Amsterdam’s Portuguese-Jewish community. Like Rembrandt, he lived in the St. Antoniesbreestraat. In 1655, Rembrandt produced four illustrations for one of Menasseh ben Israel’s books. – Verso with slight rubbing in the upper corners due to a former mounting. Otherwise in very good condition. | 1606 Leiden - Amsterdam 1669 | 15.-18. Jahrhundert | Druckgrafik | Nummer: 26x2268
