Etching 1899, printed in a very small edition.
Printed on a hard (imitated?) Jaoanese paper with relatively large margins. No signs of mounting or framing.
Ilsted admired Frans Hal's portraits in general and this etching might be considered an early warning of his almost obsessive comitment to execute mezzotints after portraits done by other painters in his later years, when he had become famous and wealthy, painting his beloved interiors and landscapes
