注意事項

No VAT will be charged on the hammer price, but VAT at 15% will be added to the buyer's premium which is invoiced on a VAT inclusive basis. On occasion, Christie's has a direct financial interest in lots consigned for sale which may include guaranteeing a minimum price or making an advance to the consignor that is secured solely by consigned property. This is such a lot. This indicates both in cases where Christie's holds the financial interest on its own, and in cases where Christie's has financed all or a part of such interest through a third party. Such third parties generally benefit financially if a guaranteed lot is sold successfully and may incur a loss if the sale is not successful.

拍品專文

This print is related to a drawing entitled Cottages on the Schinkelweg, looking towards the Overtoom (Benesch 835), a place a few kilometres to the south-west of Amsterdam in the direction of Sloten. It represents his most mature treatment of a subject that absorbed Rembrandt over many years - a view down a road lined with cottages. The recession towards the houses in the distance at left is particularly effective, and it is the first landscape in which he used drypoint extensively.
