DescriptionA fine, rich nicely modulated impression on yellow wove paper with full large margins, before the change in date and text for the second edition. The image is of a young boy with an open book, accompanied by his dog, lying on the ground in a forest glade near a stream or pool, obviously lost in reverie.Provenanceby 2013, New York, NY, C. & J.
