Based on Manet's painting, The Dancer Mariano Camprubi, 1862-1863 (Private Collection; Rouart and Wildenstein 54). Printed in brown-black ink.
According to Fisher, this impression, "on a heavy laid paper, was designated by Lucas as a modern impression from the Dumont edition. But this impression is probably one of Guerard's proofs, which were usually printed on a heavy, slightly tinted laid paper."
