After Rembrandt, circa 1778, a fine “Printdrawing” from the distinguished collection of Ploos who maintained several original Rembrandt sketches that are known to have come from his trove of drawings. Cornelis discovered the early transfer process that reproduced stunning, original drawing effects that were enhanced by hand-drawing by the artist in watercolors.
Cornelis Ploos van Amstel – According to the RKD, Ploos was a pupil of Norbert Van Bloemen and Jacobus Buys, and later became a member of the Amsterdam Artist Society Arte et Amicittia (De Kunstkrans). Ploos is mostly known as a collector and copyist of 17th-century artists. [Wiki]
