Additional Details

one of 60 copies on Grand Japon paper. A lovely collaboration by friends Hüysmann and Rafaëlli. "Through his illustrations, Rafaëlli in effect returned to his paintings of the period. The full-page plates example the charm and technical excellence of this color prints in general"--Gordon Ray, 333; Cartaret IV, 213.
