The Goldsmith
Rembrandt’s diminutive etching is modelled on an even smaller print by the 16th-century Fleming Dirck Vellert. Rembrandt included the statuette of a mother with her two children, symbolizing Charity, in this scene of a goldsmith at work. The sculptor holds his work just as tenderly as the mother holds her children.
