    It seems to be something that they perhaps just ‘picked -up’ along the way (I don’t really know) What do you all think? Is it based on some know image or drawing? I did see similar images online. I find it powerful. Its 20x24cm.
    Thank you for any comments

    That van Rijn fellow has talent. I predict he'll go far.

    Yes indeed,quite far ;)Anyway. I like it. It’s nicely framed and I ended up paying the equivalent of about only $6.. So it’s all good..

    Agree that it's handsomely framed. And, given you have such a good eye, perhaps the next time...

    Take it out of the frame and inspect the image. Then replace that acidic matt and backing.

    Everyone needs a Rembrandt on their wall, even if it is a Vintage print.

    I always tell DH when I am going to a sale I am looking for a Rembrandt for a buck :joyful:

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    Nice! But yes, try to put it into non-acidic framing.
