Etching on paper
New Hollstein’s first state of two
Signed and dated lower left: Rembrandt F. 1654
Among the foremost figures of the Old Masters, the esteemed Dutch artist Rembrandt van Rijn is often regarded as the preeminent etcher in art history. As the most significant Dutch printmaker, his body of work includes nearly 300 authenticated prints, marked by pioneering techniques that set new standards in the medium. This exceptional etching, titled The Ringball Player, exemplifies the intricate artistry and meticulous detail that distinguish Rembrandt's prints.
This print is closely related to the ones of the early life of Christ, etched in the same year, and of a similar size, using long straight hatching lines to model the figures and the background. In Rembrandt’s oeuvre, this is also one of the very rare subject matters connected with sports and leisure time. The title refers to ringball, a reference to a form of indoor croquet...
