Description

A finely detailed mezzotint engraving by Richard Houston (1721-1775) depicting a man wearing a wide-brimmed hat and ruff, thought to be the prominent Portuguese-Jewish physician and writer Ephraim Bonus (1599-1665). The original painting is held in the collection of the National Trust at Kedleston Hall in Derbyshire. Although a signature added later attributes the work to Rembrandt (1606-1669), the portrait was in fact by his disciple Ferdinand Bol (1616-1680). Inscribed in graphite to the lower margin. Well presented in a black frame with gilt trim. On paper.

Condition
