Rembrandt Van Rijn

220230 Rembrandt Van Rijn Christ & Woman of Samaria:An Arched Print 1658 B. 70, BB. 57-B 5'' x 6 1/4'' Etching and drypoint on thin laid paper with threadbare margins. Signed and dated in the plate, Rembrandt f. 1658, (in Christ's cloak to the left of the well), barely visible. Biorklund Barnards third state of three, White and Boon's third state of three, Nowell Eusticke's fifth state of five after the date is now changed to 1658, the plate is reduced to 125 x 160mm (from the second state), and the addition of new shading in the upper left portion. A late fifth state impression as issued by Bernard (c.1845) after the addition of a large patch of left to right diagonal shading between Christ and the woman. There is also a signature, Rembrandt f. 1657, in the dark shadows on the left rim of the well. According to Schwartz, this is a depiction from the New Testament John 4:5-42. White and Boon notes that the portion of the plate that was cut away in the second state was probably used for Woman Bathing her feet at the Brook, B. 200, dated 1658.
