Portrait of a bearded old man
Ferdinand Bol
* 1616 in Dordrecht † 1680 in Amsterdam
Etching. Size of oval: 7.3 x 5.5 cm.
Provenance: faint inscription of an old Colnaghi stock number.
Very fine impression sensitively inked. On the full image with the oval borderline still visible. Hollstein describes three states but they are difficult to distinguish, this however, is a 17th century impression, before Basan (Hollstein II/III).
