***Date: No date appears on any observed impression of this print. Of the dates that appear on works in the Hemingway Collection, which includes this print, none is earlier than 1931 and none later than 1934. Quintanilla started making drypoints, in fact prints in general, with Adolfo Ruperez, the printer of all the prints in the Madrid Series, sometime after the artist's return to Madrid in 1929. (See Biographical Chronology.)
- The one known exception to the range of dates specified in the paragraph just above is entry # I.
****Medium: A final determination for the medium has not been made.
