Descrizione
A good, strong early impression with fine smudges in the sky and ground areas. Before the completion of the board between the pigs and the cellar wall and before all additional fine workings. This charming scene in front of a 17th-century Dutch farmhouse is inscribed ‘très rare’ by Godefroy. Cut just within the plate mark. The upper left corner carefully repaired, paper with a few brown spots. On the reverse with traces and remnants of former mounting, otherwise in good condition. Very rare in this early impression!
