Sheet Size: 19 x 26 cm - (7½ x 10¼ inches)

a very good proof impression of this extremely rare etching; there can have been very few impressions despite this being from a 2nd state; on wove paper
in very good condition apart from a light fold acrosss the top left corner of the large upper margin
Orlik was very fond of his pet dogs and this tender portrait shows this; impressions of the etching were probably given to friends
