Rembrandt - Philosopher in Meditation - Jean-Marie Clarke

EXPERTISE of SIGNATURES

Starting October 2011, I will give no further "expertises" without a prior contribution
to the operation of the site of at least 50 US dollars to be paid through PayPal.
(Until now I have provided this service free of charge. However, I have found myself giving advice and information
to art professionals and even government agencies at my expense. Although this is a non-commercial site, it costs money to keep it online.)
Disclaimer: My expertises are educated opinions based on my knowledge and experience and are made with all due reservations.

The photo above shows the Philosopher in Meditation getting a look-over  from Louvre curator Jacques Foucart in 1987.
The painting in fact represents the blind Tobit and Anna waiting for the return of their son Tobias (see my article on Wikipedia).
