Mezzotint in colours. SIgned and inscribed (by the artist) "Prøvetryk" - "Trial proof".
No edition of this composition was ever printed and the fact that Ilsted omitted it from the list of his prints, which he executed in 1924 indicates, that he had forgotten about the existence of it.. The total edition is probably not more that 5-10 trial proofs.
A CATALOGUE RAISONNÈ on the graphic work of Ilsted is under preparation. We are seeking information on his etchings and mezzotints
