A rare Rembrandt etching found hidden in a box at the Scottish National Gallery will go on display at a north-east mansion tomorrow.
The unique red ink print of an Amsterdam preacher from 1633 was rediscovered at the art gallery in Edinburgh two years ago.
It was previously believed to be a copy of a print by the Dutch master but specialist research revealed that it was actually an original etching.
Rembrandt Harmensz van Rijn produced at least 314 etching plates throughout his career, dating from around 1626 to 1665. Only 22 impressions from these etchings are known to be in red ink and only five of these are portraits.
