The Drawings of Rembrandt

'Excellent...fills a real gap in the literature' - The Sunday Times 

A sweeping overview of Rembrandt's extraordinary achievement as a draughtsman 

Beautifully illustrated, mostly in colour, the more than 150 drawings - culled from a corpus of some 800 - are discussed in detail. The drawings span Rembrandt's entire productive life as an artist, from early self-portraits in the 1620s to late drawings from the 1660s of the victim of an execution, a state coach, and historical and mythological images.

The scope of the book allows readers to delve into the very broad range of Rembrandt's oeuvre of drawings.
