The printroom of the Rijksmuseum will be enriched with three drawings by Christaan Andriessen, one by Jurriaan Andriessen, a drawing by van Karel van Mander and a drawing by van Claes van Beresteyn.

Five of the drawings will be exhibited at Vereniging Rembrandt’s stand at TEFAF Maastricht, including the sketch by Van der Voort and the drawings by Van Scorel and Van den Eeckhout.
