[The Standard Bearer (Floris Soop)]
Rembrandt Pinx.t W.m Pether fecit
R. Sayer Exc.t [c.1770]
Mezzotint. 505 x 355mm (19¾ x 14"). Trimmed to platemark; fine impression.
Engraving after Rembrandt's 1654 painting 'The Standard Bearer', believed to be a portrait of the collector Floris Soop (1604-1657). The painting is in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. It is one of numerous engravings made after Rembrandt by William Pether (c.1738-1821), mezzotint engraver and painter, best remembered as the engraver of prints after Rembrandt and Joseph Wright of Derby. These prints stand amongst the finest mezzotints ever produced in Britain, demonstrating how mezzotint was the printed medium which most effectively reproduced the chiaroscuro effects of these painters.
