Marché de Pontoise.

Drypoint printed in dark brownish black, 1888. 99x62 mm; 4x2 1/2 inches, full margins. First state (of 3). One of only 2 known impressions in this state (there are a total of 9 known lifetime impressions in all 3 states combined). Titled and inscribed "1er état no. 1" in pencil, lower margin. A superb, early impression of this extremely scarce print, with crisp, inky plate edges.

We have found only one other lifetime impression at auction in the past 20 years. The other impression in the first state is in the Musée du Luxembourg. Delteil 75.
