An early state of the print, before the addition of shading to the Virgin's skirt; this impression was retouched in pen and ink, most visibly on the Virgin's toes, the hem of her skirt and in Saint John's legs; for later states of the print see The Metropolitan Museum Mariette Album (folios 31 and 32)
