Catalogue number: Benesch 147. The inscription on the attached strip by Rembrandt's hand reads: "This should be joined with many neighbours who [come to] see this high [-born] bride take her leave." This inscription, with its critical comment on the composition, makes the drawing seem like an assignment to an advanced pupil. | |
