Perfect proof on white vellum, annotated “essai,” titled, signed, and dated in pencil. At the bottom, an annotation in the artist’s hand: “last state before etching, June 26, ’89.” On the reverse, a pencil annotation in the hand of Arsène Bonafous-Murat: “offered by E. D.,” followed by his initials. AABM stamp (Lugt 3075). The title of this plate was suggested by Father Henri-Dominique Saffrey (1921–2021), a distinguished scholar, philosopher, and theologian, who had deep bonds of friendship with the Bonafous-Murat couple, the bookseller André Jammes, and the artist.
