ADRIAEN VAN OSTADE The Smoker at the Window.
Etching, circa 1660-70. 183x155 mm; 7 1/4x6 1/8 inches, small margins. Second state (of 4). Ex-collection William Esdaile (see Lugt 816); and Alexandre-Pierre-François Robert-Dumesnil (Lugt 2200, lower center recto). A superb, richly-inked impression with strong contrasts, crisp plate edges, delicate vertical wiping scratches in the blank lower margin and no sign of wear, consistent with the earliest impressions of this subject. Bartsch 10; Godefroy 10.
