Text from the accompanying booklet produced by the Vasari Society:
"No. 26
REMBRANDT
(b. 1606; b. 1669)
BEGGAR MAN AND A WOMAN
Collection of Sir Archibald Campbell, Bart., of Garscube. From the Richardson senior, Reynolds, Lawrence, and Esdaile Collections. Pen and bistre. 12.6 x 11 cm. (4 11/16 x 4 5/16 in.)
A characteristic example of a type of study common in Rembrandt's earliest period. Among the etchings, B. 172 (1630) and B. 178 (1634) present attitudes resembling that of the man in the drawing. In the woman looking down, with her hands raised in astonishment, Rembrandt might have been thinking of a resurrection of Lazarus, but the figure does not correspond with any in his finished compositions.
