A fine impression of this very rare, pure drypoint, printing with considerable burr and a rich, varied plate tone, Bellini's first state (of three), variant B, with wide margins, probably the full sheet, a short tear at the lower sheet edge at centre, a pale moisture stain in the lower left corner, otherwise in very good condition
