The Windmill by François Vivares, after Rembrandt

1758

About the Item

Engraving on cream laid paper, 8 x 5 7/8 inches (202 x 149 mm), trimmed at the platemark. Adhered at each corner to a small sheet of archival laid paper. Horizontal edge loss at the top-center sheet edge, extending approximately 1/2-inch into the platemark, 1-inch in length. Inking is dark and clear and the sheet is otherwise in good condition. A reverse image copy of the work by Rembrandt, printed mid 18th century. The image shows the so-called Little Stink Mill, an actual windmill that once stood along the bulwark that extended down the west side of Amsterdam during the 17th century. The mill was owned and operated by the Leathermakers Guild, and its nickname stemmed from the odorous practice of softening tanned leather with cod liver oil. An impression of this work may be viewed in the permanent collection of Harvard University's Fogg Art Museum; Division of European Art, object number G3958.
