| Print note: | The area around and on the boat in foreground has probably been treated either with a fabric in soft ground, or with a fabric taking off hard ground, resulting in a fine fabric texture effect. White lines were then burnished out here. K0380109 is very like K0380229, less like K0380104, which has more scratches at the bottom left, and more foul biting at the bottom right corner and top left corner. |
