The highest known numbered impression is 11/35 but unnumbered impressions do exist. At least eight impressions are in museum collections. This lovely work was printed by George C. Miller in New York. Provenance: Harcus Krakow Gallery, Boston, and Hirschl & Adler Galleries, New York (with their labels).
