During a move during the pandemic period Charlotte Meyer rediscovered in a family drawer 35 engravings attributed to Rembrandt. The Rembrandt House in Amsterdam confirmed their authorship. The works will be exhibited at the Stedelijk Museum Zutphen, a town in the Netherlands.<\/p>\n

Thirty-five Rembrandtetchings have been found in a private home in the Netherlands, where they had been sitting in a drawer for decades. The discovery, as ArtNews reports, came during the COVID-19 pandemic when Charlotte Meyer, after a recent move, decided to rearrange a folder of works on paper that her grandfather had bequeathed to her. According to reports from Omroep, the Dutch public broadcaster, the folder had been stored for many years in the family home in Zutphen, a town in the eastern part of the Netherlands. Meyer\u2019s grandfather had acquired the engravings sometime between 1900 and 1920. After the find, Meyer submitted the works for examination by the Rembrant House Museum in Amsterdam, which confirmed the authenticity of the 35 etchings, attributing them to the Dutch master. The economic value of the collection has not been disclosed.<\/p>\n

However, the market for Rembrandt\u2019s prints has performed well in recent years. Between 2023 and 2025 Christie\u2019s London dispersed a collection of engravings belonging to Sam Josefowitz. In the December 3, 2025 sale<\/a>, the Arnout Tholinx etching , Inspector (circa 1656) fetched\u00a33 .1 million (\u20ac3.54 million), setting the highest price ever paid at auction for a print by an Old Master. Seventy other engravings from the same collection sold for less than $50,000 each. Also in the Rembrandtian sphere, but in the field of drawings,Young lion resting (Young lion resting) (ca. 1638-42) set a record<\/a> earlier this month at Sotheby\u2019s, with an adjudication of$18 million (\u20ac15.25 million).<\/p>\n

The 35 rediscovered engravings will now enter a public exhibition setting. Next month they will be presented along with other works collected in later years, including works by Rembrandt, his predecessors, contemporaries and followers. The exhibition, titled Rembrandt, van donker naar licht (Rembrandt, from darkness to light), will be held at the city\u2019s Stedelijk Museum Zutphen from March 21 to June 14, bringing to light a nucleus of works that had long remained in domestic settings.<\/p>\n
