Excerpt from Catalogue of an Exhibition of Etchings by Rembrandt This copper had originally been engraved by Hercules Seghers with the representation of Tobit and the Angel. Only two impressions are known of the print in this state. The plate was then taken by Rembrandt, the figures of Tobit and the Angel effaced, and the figures of Joseph and the Virgin introduced in their places. The trees at the right and the foreground, as well as the figures, are Rembrandt's work. The remainder of the plate is substantially the way Hercules Seghers left it.
