That's one thing I don't like about digital prints - too many saturated areas with no way to pull out detail. An original scan, even with only 8 bit gray scale, can usually let you bring out some details, but this seller is selling prints from the scans which are really just good for display. I don't know if this seller uses original from their own collection, but some of these ebay sellers just download images from libraries and institutions and sell prints of them. A Google image search of this one doesn't bring anything up, so it may well be from their own collection. The scan on the listing probably has as much information as the print they sell. This is as much as I can draw out of the shadows:
