Etching printed in dark, brownish-black on ivory laid paper, 1867. 163x242 mm; 6 3/8x9 1/2 inches, full margins. Fourth state (of 4). A superb, richly-inked impression.
According to Harris, this print was the first version made after the infamous painting of 1863, not the smaller etching which was included in Zola's pamphlet. The composition and proportions of the present work resemble the painting more closely than the smaller version. Guérin 40; Harris 52.
