a remarkably good impression of this etching, more figurative than others Villon was making at the time yet still showing a marked cubist influence;
there were only 10 proofs printed of the 1st state and a few of the second; the 3rd state was printed in 1960 from the reworked plate and issued with the book edited by Pierre Caillet Les Caricatures de Jacques Villonthis impression is far better that the one illustrated in the G & P catalogue;
on heavy wove paper with full margins, in very good condition
