In excellent condition, printed on a sheet with full margins.
From the edition of unknown size. Also bearing the artist's red monogram stamp (Lugt 1545) in the lower right hand corner of the plate, which Tissott affixed only to those impressions from any given edition which he considered to be the finest, he reserved these impressions for his own collection.
Signed and dated in the plate lower right J.J Tissot / 1883.
A superb impression of Wentworth's only published state of this rare etching,
Tissot 75; Béraldi 64; Wentworth 73
