Rembrandt Van Rijn

206824 Rembrandt Van Rijn Presentation in the Temple: Oblong Print c. 1640 B., Holl. 49; BB. 40-1 8 1/2'' x 11 1/2'' Etching and drypoint on thick laid paper with substantial margins. Biorklund Barnard's third state of three, White and Boons's third state of three and Nowell Eusticke's fourth state of six with the bare patch along the upper left border about four inches from the left filled in with horizontal shading, the vault, pillars, and rays sharply defined, and the peak of the hat of the man to the left of Joseph is reduced and his face is clearly outlined. An early fourth state impression as issued by P.F. Basan (1785-1797), after the strong horizontal shading has cut off the left hand portion of the turban on Joseph's head, Nowell Eusticke refers to this impression as "fairly strong particularly of Simeon and Mary". According to Schwartz, the action of the etching precedes the actual presentation as depicted in Luke 2:22-38
