Lithograph printed in black on stout, cream laid paper, 1891-92. 333x245 mm; 13 1/2x9 3/4 inches, full margins. Fourth state (of 6). One of approximately only 20 impressions in this state (from a combined approximately 40 impressions in all 6 states). Signed in pencil, lower left. Printed by Auguste Clot, Paris.
According to Reed/Shapiro, perhaps half of the known "edition" of this lithograph in all 6 states were located in the 1950s by E. W. Kornfeld, "In the hands of Maurice Exsteens, who had acquired them from his father-in-law, the Parisian collector and publisher Gustave Pellet (1859-1919). Pellet had evidently obtained them sometime between 1900 and 1910 and is said to have had them signed by Degas." Delteil 65; Adhémar 63; Reed/Shapiro 61.
