- Notes (object):
-
Published state. Drypoint on copper. The lower bird at the right is much darkened by the addition of heavy horizontal lines on the body, and by similar lines, though not horizontal, on the wings. The heavy lines in sky and water are reduced to a more even tone. Reproduced. One hundred and fifty proofs, signed, on Whatman paper.
