Information

Etching on thin Japan laid paper. 17,7 × 23,9 cm (26,7 × 41,5 cm) (7 × 9 ⅜ in. (10 ½ × 16 ⅜ in.)). Catalogue raisonné: Croquez 65. [3647]

Condition Report: Fine, harmonious overall appearance. The sheet edges without tears or losses; the upper sheet edge somewhat unevenly cut. In the upper left corner and along the upper edge several horizontal handling creases (up to 28 cm) due to the mounting on the reverse, and, in the lower margin, a few slight creases. The paper with even pale time staining. Faint pressure marks from the mat window; thus the paper surface, in places, with slight differences in surface shine. The right sheet margin with faint printing ink splatter due to the artist's technique. On the reverse, along the upper edge mounted onto the support cardboard
