Printed in brown-black ink. According to Fisher, this impression is from the 1862 Cadart edition "Huit gravures à l'eau-forte par Manet"; he states "in his printing of the impressions for the 1862 edition, Delâtre also left an amount of plate tone as seen in an impression of this edition in the Lucas collection." (p. 52). Fisher describes this state as "etching, roulette, bitten tone" but this cataloguer (NS) cannot identify roulette work.
