Watermarks
Watermark Form
Miscellaneous, late
This Miscellaneous, late watermark is likely from a paper produced later than others used by Rembrandt. The place-name for this appears to be 'Paris' or 'Parie' with the date '1680' or initials and numbers 'AG80' below. Use of this paper has been connected to Pierre Francois Basan, a Parisian print dealer and publisher who was known to have printed from Rembrandt plates posthumously
