Description
A good, slightly later impression of the fourth state already beginning to show some wear in the landscape. With the closed tree trunk, which characterises the fourth state. The bridge in the background has not yet been rebuilt, as specified in the fifth state, but the fine diagonal lines on the cow fleeing to the right are already visible. With wide margins. The etching was created in 1634, the year of his marriage to Saskia van Uylenburgh. – Paper slightly time-stained and with tiny foxing spots. Skilfully repaired tears in the edges and some tiny repaired holes, otherwise in good condition.
