Notes (object):
Fifth state (Harrington 1). The water in the foreground at the left is now clear of work, having neither reeds nor reflections. The fishing rod has been re-etched and is broader and better defined; the fisherman's right sleeve has been redrawn and is less shaded. Additional shading in the trees in the middle distance, also additional work on the reeds to the left of the fisherman; apparently the reeds behind him were also re-etched. The lighter drypoint lines in the water appear to wear during the printing.
