ALEXANDER ARCHIPENKO
Two Nudes<>.

Pencil on cream wove paper, 1919. 480x340 mm; 19x13½ inches. Signed in pencil, lower right. Published in Donald Karshan, Archipenko, The Sculpture and Graphic Art<>, Tübingen, 1974, p. 113.

Karshan relates the current work to the print Female Nudes (Weibliche Akt)<>, lithograph, 1923, which was published in the portfolio Dritte Jahresgabe des Kreises graphischer Künstler und Sammler<>, Leipzig (Karshan 29). Indeed, the drawing appears to be a close study for the print, which is in reverse of the current work.
