Rembrandt’s financial situation deteriorated in the 1650s. To turn the tide, he put up part of his collection for public sale. This is how he came into contact with Pieter Haringh, who was the auctioneer. Haringh’s portrait is executed virtually entirely in drypoint: Rembrandt scratched directly into the copperplate with an etching needle.
