AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller


Late impression from the original copper plate. The mountains in the background are fainter than in earlier impressions.

Inscription content: Signed in the lower margin to the right: 'Claudius in sup. P'; rest of inscriptions either removed or worn out.

From a collection of prints of Rembrandt, Claude and Wierotter etchings c 1826 from the original plates.

Verso has an unidentified collector’s stamp. ‘lR’ In a circle. L.6231 On croit lire au centre de ce cachet les lettres capitales I R à l’intérieur d’un cercle, mais si l’on considère que le bas des lettres n’a pas été bien encré, il est aussi possible d’y voir les lettres I B. Ce cachet figure sur un dessin de Gillis Neyts (1623-1687), Paysage avec un port (vente Heidelberg, Winterberg, Herbstauktion 75, 10 novembre 2007, no 120). (Lugt website)
