5 Rembrandt Etchings

5 Rembrandt Etchings

Post by John » Sun, 14 Mar 1999 04:00:00



I have recently come across 5 Rembrandt etchings from the 19th century.
They are in good condition and are plate numbered  129, 139, 180, 200
& 268. I was thinking about throwing them up on E-Bay but I don't know much
about what the current market for pieces such as this might be. Any info or
speculation would be appreciated

What do you mean Rembrandt etchings from the 19th century?

 .... who made the etchings??? They are not Rembrandt etchings, unless
he was moonlighting in heaven.

So you "recently came across etchings" by whom?

Nah, Ronnie, they ain't etchings.
I don't recall that the big R numbered his goddamn etchings in the
plates,
do you? LOL.
Most likely they are lithos or gravures of some kind.
Book illustrations maybe. A dollar each.

Yea you're probably right. The "plate number" thingy didn't strike me.
I wa sort of giving the benefit of doubt to the poster. Thinking, well
maybe they could have been a set of Vicky engraving, by a Vicky
engraving, coping some Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn work, but that
me always looking on the bright side of things :>>>)

The reason I caught it is that the same thing happened to me the other
day
on another post. We tend to think that when someone says they have an
etching that they have an etching.

The funny thing about it was that he wasn't the least bit e***d about
having "come across" FIVE ***ING REMBRANDT ETCHINGS!  No, that
was no big deal.
So, I figured, a guy like that, he doesn't know shit about prints.
Pretty good thinking, eh?
Rember, we are only here to price merchandise for these greedy
***s who don't give a damn about anything.
If I "came across" five Rembrandt etchings my hands would be shaking
so bad I couldn't type if my life depended on it.

Hey, and this is the truth hand up to God. >) We have a painter friend
(that' an artist, like in picture painter, not a house decorator) he
has a small Rembrandt etching, looks like a doddle to me, but this
thing is claimed 100% right (well according to the appropriate expert
in the museum and others) It really is a lovely thing, seriously. I am
not sure what it is worth, expensive YES but I didn't an  Oh WOW!
maybe more an ...  Oh really?

Anyways, right or wrong it freaks him out. He keeps it upstairs, in
his bedroom, so that he can look at it first thing in the morning, and
last thing at night. Course, he a right frigging weirdo at the best of
times. He like to plays mind games with new guest that don't know he
has such a thing, "hey!" he say after a few banana peels "I've got a
real Rembrandt etching in my bedroom .. anybody want to see it?" It's
fun to observe folks reactions, the chicks just think he's coming-on
and the guys just think, who feck is Rembrandt, can I get one for my
bedroom.

I've got a John Lennon print*** on my bedroom wall, it's only worth
about three grand, but even that amount for a piece of doodle amazes me.
At least he has a smile on his face in this one, must have been the
banana peel.
