Canal with an Angler and Two Swans

Rembrandt van Rijn (mentioned on object), 1650

These two prints were long thought to have been a single one executed on a large oblong copperplate. However, despite their similarity in format, subject, composition and perspective, they do not match up perfectly. Hence, they are more likely pendants, two separate works that belong together. They are part of a group of landscapes in which Rembrandt combined typical Dutch features with mountainous backgrounds.
