Rembrandt "Jacob and Laban" second state etching

Received the Rembrandt piece today. Exactly as described by Ripley, who provides detailed description, photos, and provenance information helping to feel confident in my purchase. Questions are quickly answered by the auction house. The piece was packed well and received in a timely manner. Will do business with Ripley again.

Happy customer

It was my first purchase from Ripley and ultimately very happy but the communication about shipping was momentarily confusing for me but it worked out well in the end for a fair price. I won't hesitate to bid with Ripley in the future.
