He also specialized in prints after Rembrandt van Rijn's etchings and drawings. He owned three plates from which Rembrandt himself had made prints, including that of the renowned Hundred Guilder Print. Baillie himself reworked that plate in 1775. He also etched a reversed copy of Rembrandt's Three Trees, with his own modifications.
