专家说明

The catalogue of Matta's prints by Germana Ferrari lists only two proofs of this important print. We believe, however, that there are likely to have been two editions; an early, edition of ten (as here), and a later edition of forty with a heavier aquatint ground. What is not clear is how many of the edition of ten were hand-coloured. We have not been able to find any other examples from this edition at auction in the last twenty years.
