Rembrandt as draftsman beggars description, yet he is the most accessible of the great artists. Rembrandt's personal interpretation of his favorite scenes and themes from the Bible form the largest single category among his 1400 extant sketches. This volume displays, in sharp, quality reproduction, 60 authentic designs chosen from the great facsimile publications of the drawings. The arrangement is by chronology with the Bible. -- From publisher's description.
