SAENREDAM, Jan
(ca. 1565-1607):

Portrait of Pieter Ho(o)gerbeets ,
(1542-99), a Dutch scholar, poet and physician, after Karel van Mander

Engraving, ca. 1600. Hollstein 126, third state; New Hollstein 160, fourth state. The British Museum holds three impressions of this print, all in this final state. A proof impression with only the oval portrait engraved and tentative ideas for the frame sketched in with pencil, pen and ink was recently acquired by the Rembrandt Association for the Rijksmuseum. Rare.

A brilliant impression with thread margins on two sides, trimmed on or just within the platemark at top and bottom. Two unobtrusive vertical folds visible on the verso only, several old hinges, otherwise in impeccable condition.
