What does this mean?

A late 19th century wall decoration, prefabricated wooden panel with a print after a wood engraving after the painting by Rembrandt van Rijn, 'Tronie' of a Man with a Feathered Beret, c. 1635 - 1640. Such wall decorations were sold prefabricated with the print and the letters to be then carved out or treated with a soldering iron by an amateur artist. There is no artist listed with that name, hence it is very likely that it is the name of the amateur artist who did the carving. The estimate is based on similar items offered or sold at auction.
