Transcription

PHOENIX - DRUCK / BLATT Nr. 1 Rembrandt, Faust, Radierung um 1650 Ob die Deutung des Bildes als Studierzimmer des Faust, der nach dem Pentagram, sieht, zutrifft, steht dahin. Es ist immerhin nicht unmöglich, und jedenfalls wird die Mystik des suchenden Grüblers mit der Darstellung packend getroffen. Beim Einrahmen auf die Rückseite kleben

Translation

PHOENIX - PRINT / PLATE No. 1 Rembrandt, Faust, Etching ca. 1650 It remains to be seen whether the interpretation of the picture as the study of Faust looking at the pentagram is correct. After all, it's not impossible, and in any case the mysticism of the searching brooder is captured in a gripping way by the depiction. Glue to the back when framing.
