Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn

The Omval (B., Holl. 209; New Holl. 221; H. 210)

Rembrandt's 'The Omval' is a superb etching and drypoint from 1645, printed in the second state with rich burr and pronounced sulfur tinting. The work demonstrates Rembrandt's mastery of landscape etching and his technical innovations in the medium.

Medium
Etching and drypoint, 1645, a superb impression of New Hollstein's second state (of three), printing with rich burr in the trunk of the tree, the foliage at left and the signature, the sulphur tinting in the sky very pronounced, still with rough, inky plate edges, on fine laid paper with a Double-headed Eagle watermark (Hinterding C.b., dated 1645), framed
