Self-Portrait Holding a Cigarette

Paul Gavarni (French, 1804-1866) (Artist)

(18th and 19th Centuries )

The first of six states before letters. An extremely fine impression of the very rare first state of this much-admired self-portrait. In fine, fresh condition with apparently full margins, some light foxing in the margins.
