Description: |
Very fine impression, printed with plate tone but still with dramatic chiaroscuro, on laid paper with small margins. The scene, despite its traditional title, is actually an Adoration of the Shepherds and, though in no way copied from Rembrandt, is clearly a Rembrandt-like interpretation. |
