Getting started with the collection:
A Brook with a Grotto and a Boat (‘Het spelonkje’)
Rembrandt van Rijn (mentioned on object), 1645
The boat in this shadowy grotto is hardly visible. The dark passage contrasts with the surroundings, which are laid down on the plate with a few sketchy lines. This etching seems unfinished; however, it is signed and dated and was frequently printed. It is noteworthy that Rembrandt chose this landscape to showcase his name so prominently.
