JAMES JACQUES TISSOT
A la fenêtre.

Drypoint and etching, 1875. 189x108 mm; 71/2x41/4 inches, full margins. First state (of 2). A brilliant, richly-inked impression of this scarce, early print.

Wentworth notes that a small edition might have been made of the first state, before the ribbon behind the woman is given an outline and before the small smudge on the upper center edge of the plate. This small edition would have been aside from the published edition of approximately 50 in the second state. Wentworth 9.
