JAMES ENSOR Les Patineurs.
Etching on imitation Japan paper, 1889. 171x238 mm; 6 3/4x9 3/8 inches, full margins. Second state (of 2), with the lines for the clouds added upper left and right. Signed and titled in pencil, lower margin. A brilliant, richly-inked, dark and early impression of this very scarce etching.
According to Elesh, the dark winter sky, which is richly-inked and velvety black in the current impression, pales considerably in later impressions. Delteil 65; Taevernier 65; Elesh 65.
