Specialist note

Femme vidant une brouette is technically one of the most complex of Pissarro's graphic oeuvre. The present third state is before he signed the print on the plate, added aquatint and changed the composition by enlarging the tree and haystack is the fourth state, and made further alterations in etching, drypoint and with the scaper in the final state. The print is generally very rare, with only a few impressions pulled also of the previous and subsequent states.
