Diane et Orion

Circa 1605-1612
Original etching and engraving
450 × 203 mm, trimmed on the square line, tablet missing
A fine impression, probably of the final state published by Le Blond. The absence of the tablet makes it impossible to determine the exact state, but the presence of the watermark rather indicates a definitive state, this paper being used by Le Blond for most of his prints, small losses restored in the right-hand corners, wetness in the upper part of the subject and rust stain, small tear restored on the right-hand edge, crease in the upper left-hand corner and several horizontal creases visible on the recto
Watermark: Grape with AB countermark (Griffiths Hartley watermark 2)
Reference: Robert-Dumesnil V 36, Walch 10, Griffiths-Hartley 38, Thuillier 54 probably iii/iii
