Gestures, banners and drapery all contribute to the general complexity and agitation, one of the perverse goals of the style. Hollstein 3, with Robert de Baudous’ address. A fine, well-contrasted impression, very slightly dryer at the bottom. Trimmed on or just outside the platemark all round. A barely perceptible centre crease, two pin-pricks towards the left, slight dust-marking at the bottom of the inscription space, one or two fox-marks, otherwise in very good condition.
