Two tiny portraits by Rembrandt that had been lost to the world for 200 years and sold recently at auction for US$14mil (RM65.8mil) made their debut Wednesday at Amsterdam's Rijksmuseum.

The 20cm high (eight-inch) oval portraits depict an elderly plumber named Jan Willemsz van der Pluym and his wife Jaapgen Carels.
