Notes (object):
Second state (Harrington 1). Published in "Études à l'eau-forte" (no. XVIII). The man, the small boat and most of the scratch or fishing pole removed, though the top is still visible. In the process of burnishing the man and the boat, several lines near the man were removed. Several other lines in this area were possibly reworked in drypoint.
