EDOUARD MANET Le Chanteur Espagnol.
Etching printed in black on cream laid paper, 1861-62. 300x245 mm; 11 7/8x9 5/8 inches, full margins. Fifth state (of 7). Likely a proof impression, aside from the unknown (but small) edition published for Huit gravures à l'eau forte par Manet, by Cadart, Paris, 1862. Ex-collection Marthelot (?) (Lugt supplement 884, verso; according to Lugt, probably the stamp of one of the master printers employed by the publishers Cadart and Luquet, Paris). A brilliant, richly-inked impression with strong contrasts and all the fine details printing clearly. Guérin 16; Harris 12.
