<p>[QUOTE="effowe, post: 57502, member: 594"]The paper looks to be hand made and from 1800 or earlier. Good well made ink does not fade with age. The two marks on the verso are probably a dealer's stock number and price code. This looks to be a sketch for a larger work. If it were mine I would look through etchings and try to find that figure. The style looks very much like Rembrandt so I would start there with his religious subjects. If you find a match don't get too excited because there are many artists copying those old masters but even those have value. Hope that helps.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
