Etching attributed to Rembrandt. (White and Boon)
Only one state.
The print was not accepted by de Vries and de Roever, who attributed it to Hoogstraten; Seidlitz rejected it. M|nz attributed to Bol, and Hollstein to Hoogstraten. Biörklund has rightly pointed out that this head is related to a Rembrandt drawing only known through an etching of J. D. Laurentz (Benesch 31 6a). He dates the print, however, too early.
