Hand signed in pencil lower right Henri Marisse.

A superb impression of the definitive state of this extremely rare etching from the edition of only 25, numbered '23/25' in pencil also lower right (there were 2 additional Epreuve d'etat, and 3 Epreuve d'essai, for an overall edition of 30, plus 2 impression printed after the plate was cancelled).

In excellent condition, on a sheet with full margins and deckled edges.

Collections in which impression of this etching can be found: Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris; Musée Matisse, Le Cateau-Cambresis (the commune in Northern France which was the birthplace of Matisse and is now home to the third largest collection of the artist's works in France); Museum of Modern Art, New York.
