Other Notes:
This work demonstrates the tonal effect he was able to obtain from just one ink on one stone. Zúñiga called this a “mid-tone veil” and was achieved by the use of a large roller to first ink the stone and then etch it prior to doing the drawing.    
Condition:
Very good condition. Printed to the edges of the sheet, minor handling creases, unobtrusive printer’s crease center right in the gray shoulder area of the woman's wrap, two pinholes at left and right sheet edges. Not matted. Shipped flat in protective folio.
