Getting started with the collection:
Peasant Family on the Tramp
etching, c. 1652
In his early work, Rembrandt revealed an unending fascination with common people. Later, he revisited this subject only incidentally, as in these two prints, which still attest to his mastery. With a few deft lines, he rendered the toddler at the left, who appears to be walking along with his family only because his father holds his hand firmly.
