Retour de Pêche la Nuit (original French title)
Etching and aquatint on laid paper.

Reference: Morane 16.
Annotated as a fourth state. As Morane comments, this plate was reworked in many states, and it is impossible to identify the progression exactly.
In the edition a fisherman is seen the foreground on the left. We suspect our state is prior to this addition. Then again, Delavallée was such a skilled etcher
that he could also have removed this figure and re-etched the plate, though this seems quite a bit less likely. Signed and annotated in pencil.
Plate: 4 ¾ x 7 ¾ inches.
