The Quacksalver
Rembrandt van Rijn (mentioned on object), 1635
Initially, Rembrandt was fascinated above all by pathetic wretches compelled to beg for alms. Later, he also developed an interest in other colourful city folk, which he usually depicted in the same minuscule format. In these six etchings, he portrayed a quack in outmoded clothing, two Polish soldiers, two street musicians (an organ grinder and a fiddler) and a skater.
