The Adoration of the Shepherds, with the lamp, Rembrandt van Rijn; etching, roughly 6 x 7? (14 x 17 cm); in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
The museum�s page indicates this is the first of three states. I looked around a bit but I can�s find a later state, though several major museums have prints of the first state.
It�s interesting, however, to compare this to another etching by Rembrandt of the same biblical event, but handled quite differently.
