Signed by Pissarro in pencil, lower left, and annotated in pencil, lower margin. Published Hessèle, Paris. From 25 Lithographies. A very good impression of this scarce lithograph.

With--The original justification folder signed by both Thornley and Pissarro in pencil.

Pissarro likely acted on the advice of Edgar Degas, who had collaborated with Thornley on a suite of lithographs after his drawings (Reed/Shapiro 25b; see lot 205) during the late 1880s, when he decided to create the current work.
