That is the right print,but this one is very old and says print no.
139 on the back. it also says a collection of Barone Alice D. Ve
Rothschild.Do you know anything about this?

I would take it to be a numbered (therefore probably authorised) print
of a painting in the collection of the Barone. It could also be from a
limited edition print run, but they are usually numbered 1/500  or
55/500, meaning the first or fifty-fifth of a limited run totally five
hundred.
