Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn (1606–1669)
Beggar Man and Woman Behind a Bank, ca. 1630

See CORSAIR catalog record for this item »
During the Leiden years, from about 1629 to 1631, Rembrandt produced a large number of etchings of street people and beggars. These were inspired by the well-known series of etchings by Jacques Callot published in 1622–23. The elderly figures emerging from behind a darkened bank were heavily reworked in drypoint. Their expressive faces recall Rembrandt's early self-portraits.
