Notes A copy in reverse of a detail from Rembrandt's 1632 etching of a Rat Catcher (Hind 97). The man, wearing a high cap, fur cape and a sword hanging from his belt, stands to the right, and leans on a stick with his right hand. However, the figure differs from that of Rembrandt's, with the major omission of the rat on the 'catchers' shoulder, and a shortened staff with no basket.

Condition: Trimmed close to plate mark and tipped to album page. Printed on 19th century wove paper.
