Profile portrait to the right, Adolph von Menzel at the age of 70, 1885.
Original drypoint etching.

Inscribed and dated on the plate. Signed and dedicated in pencil on mounted label "Prof. Reinhold Begas der 1. Druck Hochachtungsvoll ergebenst Karl Stauffer-Bern".

Lehrs 12 II (of VII). - Impression before removal of the needle samples at lower left. - Excellent, extremely burrdy and velvety black impression of the 2nd state, but obviously overlooked by Lehrs, who lists all copies in his oeuvre catalogue. -

Somewhat stronger foxing (also in the plate), creases in margin. Missing part in lower right corner. Nevertheless in good condition.
