ÉDOUARD MANET
Les Chats<>.

Etching and aquatint, 1868-69. 180x223 mm; 7 1/8x8 7/8 inches, full margins. First state (of 2). Pale time stain recto, time stain verso. A very good impression of this scarce print, with warm plate tone.

According to Harris, the extreme economy of statement in this print among all of Manet's graphic ouevre, shows the artist's debt to Japanese brush drawing. Guérin 52; Harris 64.
