inches, full margins. One of only several known lifetime impressions (there

was no posthumous edition). Signed in pencil, lower right. A brilliant, richly-inked

impression of this exceedingly scarce etching, printed in two tones, with a light brown

film of ink in the sky, and black inking throughout the plate, selectively-wiped on the

side of the Château and along the hillside to create highlights.
