- inscription: within the printed area, throughout, graphite, handwritten, in artist's hand: [There are various corrections made to this copy, apparently by the artist, since some of these changes can be seen in the reproduction of a different copy in Hacker's book (particularly the nose of the right-profile figure) (p. 74). For this reason, the Hacker copy seems to be a later state, which might indicate that the rest of the edition follows that print in having the figures reversed relative to our print.
