    Where to sell & about how much for 2 REMBRANDT Etch.
    1-The raising of Lazarus

    These Etchings formerly in the collection of Dr.Robert Lee Humber.
    The late master printer,Emiliano Sorini spent two years proofing the plates
    For these etchings along with Marjorie Van Dyke.
    Any information on what a good price for both buyer & seller along with
    How to find that potential buyer.I am in Real estate and need to liquidate.
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Rembrandt etchings? Fantastic. I'm getting very, very jealous.

    If you don't mind, I would love to see some photos of the work.

    I suggest you see a very good appraiser. I would definitely not consider selling these pieces without one.

    Art at this level could surely be brought to Christie's or Sotheby's auction houses.

    Here are a couple of links that will give you a better idea of what they do:

    Christie's - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Sotheby's - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    You could also contact some museums to see if they would be interested in buying the work from you.

    I would love an update as the story of these etchings continues to unfold.

    Hi, swatterac!

    So, are you saying that you have two etchings that were actually done by Rembrandt himself? Or, are these something else, please?

    Pretty much all of the original work done by Rembrandt that is extant in the world has been accounted and documented as to authenticity, ownership and where the original works are located.

    Thanks!
