Catalogue Note
etching, one of the very rare impressions before the bevelling of the plate and probably also before steelfacing (Baer cites only two states: one before steelfacing and bevelling, the other after steelfacing and bevelling), Baer cites only one other impression in the Musée Picasso, Paris (there was also an edition of 260 and an edition of 50 with wide margins after steelfacing), on Montval laid paper.
