Title:	Young Man (Portrait of a Gengleman Facing Right)
Designer:	Savery, Salomon After Rembrandt
Engraver:	Anonymous Dutch Master
Date:	c. 1660
Medium:	Original Etching
Note:	Dutch master: This beautiful seventeenth century etching has an interesting documented history. Initially an etching based upon either a Rembrandt drawing or painting was created by Salomon Savery. Savery (1594-1666) was one of Holland's most prolific printmakers. He etched landscapes, ceremonial views and portraits both after his own design and those of his contemporaries. In total he etched at least four portraits after the designs of Rembrandt. Young Man (Portrait of a Gengleman Facing Right) was created around 1640 and went through three states of minor alterations before being printed in its final state in 1654 for the Amsterdam publication, De Grooten Emblemata.
	Several years later the image again appeared as an individual etching. A comparison between this original etching and Savery's work reveals two major differences. In this version the figure is reversed and in the upper right Rembrandt's monogramme appears with the date, 1633. Otherwise, the work of this contemporary Dutch master shows as much (if not more) talent than the etched art of Savery. The tonal values of the face and the textures of the man's apparel, in particular, are rendered with the utmost skill and delicacy. It is obviously a creation of a highly gifted artist.
