I bought a very old & and antique looking print or painting with old frame of Leonardo De Vinci, and on the bottom it says Collection Hanfstaengl Munchen 50. Rembrandt. Was this a print or painting made by Rembrandt and does it have any value? It looks like a black and white portrait of De Vinci. And how do I find anything about it?
Thanks, Tom

Hanfstaengl was a German publisher famous for early photographic reproductions of art.
"Kunstverlag Franz Hanfstaengl" was bought by DACO in the 1980s.

Rembrandt did not portray DaVinci. It just may be a selfportait:

It may have some value but I doubt it will be more than $10.
