From Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery:
"The Entombment" is one of a small group of almost monochrome sketches by Rembrandt. It relates to a vertical format picture painted between 1636 and 1639 and commissioned as part of a Passion series for Prince Frederick Henry of Orange (Munich, Alte Pinakothek). This panel is probably the "schets van de begraeffenis Christi" (sketch of an entombment) listed in the contents of Rembrandt's house at the time of his bankruptcy in 1656. It has been suggested that the painting is a sketch for an etching made at the time when Rembrandt was living and working with the dealer Hendrik Uylenburgh.
