Based on Manet's painting, Lola de Valence, 1862 (Musée d'Orsay; Rouart and Wildenstein 53). Fisher describes this print as "etching, aquatint, roulette" but this cataloguer (NS) cannot identify roulette work. Printed in brown-black ink. Most likely from the 1894 Dumont edition; according to Harris, "Dumont published an edition of 30 impressions of...30 plates, printed in bistre ink on blue-green laid papers."
