Etching, 92 x 62 mm. Bartsch 128, New Hollstein 191, 1st state (of 4).
Impression of the 1st state before the rework in drypoint doubling the woman’s ear and the lines over her shoulder.
Fine impression printed on laid paper. Very small tear of 4 mm on the left edge and a tiny stain, otherwise in excellent condition.
Provenance: Captain FACHOT (identified from 1796 until 1811), painter and collector: his mark in graphite on the reverse: C. fachot cap du génie (Lugt 4372) and inscription in his hand in pen bottom, difficult to decipher but ending with year 13 (probable mention of purchase in year 13, i.e. 1804-1805).
