Etching on laid paper. (1631). 7.7 x 5.3 cm (sheet).

A very fine lifetime impression of the fifth state, with strenghtened contours of the man's lower left leg, yet before the doubled curved stroke on his upper right arm. Indicated by Nowell-Usticke with 'R+': 'A scarce, delicate little print'. Trimmed to the platemarks on three sides, cut 1 mm within on top. – A diagonal, hardly noticeable crease. Paper minimally thinned out in places. Otherwise in good condition.
