DESCRIPTIVE DATA
----------------
object type: After the painting previously thought to be by Rembrandt but now attributed to School of Rembrandt, (1600-1700; Chequers Court, Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, Inv. No. 106). On the right, a standing male figure wearing a soft velvet cap and seen in profile facing left leans over a table holding a pair of dividers onto a manuscript with his right hand. He is watched by a younger man seated at the table to the left. A pair of globes are seen in the foreground to the left.
title:	print

NOTES
-----
type: history note
value: VanSittart gave 1,485 engravings to the Fitzwilliam Museum in 1879 and this mezzotint was probably included within this group. The number written on the verso in graphite presumably relates to some kind of count by curators at the time of the acquisition. A curatorial annotation in the FM copy of Chaloner Smith (p.907) lists 'The Mathematican' as '202' and gives the Goodwin reference 'G G 213'.
