Original etching.

Signed lower right in the plate.
Roman print on laid paper with a fleur-de-lis watermark within a double circle (see photos).

Stains in the four corners of the print and some slight creases around the central fold. Small margins.

"Gheldolf Estate" collector's stamp (Lugt L.1080) bearing the number 275 in pen in the lower right corner
