Original etching printed in black ink on laid paper bearing the Strasbourg
Lily (fleur-de-lys in a crowned shield surmounting the letters “LC”)
watermark [Ash/Fletcher 36 A. LC:a - identical to that found in the
impression of this etching in the collection of the National Gallery of
Art].
A strong, early impression of Bartsch and Usticke’s only state of this very
scarce etching, showing the sulphur tinting in the sky above the cottages
and touches of burr on the grasses lower right. |
