Etching and drypoint on laid paper. (1641). 10.5 x 15.5 cm (sheet).

A very fine lifetime impression of the second state, printing with much burr. With the diagonal lines on the centre woman's hat clear and with touches of burr to the left of Tobias' head, on the chest of the young man in the centre and on the lines at the bottom centre. The back of Tobit's head is now shaded over in drypoint; before the two dots added in the upper right corner. Thread margins. – A tiny, professionally restored tear in the top left corner. The margins slightly time-stained, otherwise in very good condition.
