MAX PECHSTEIN
Frauenkopf.

Aquatint and soft-ground etching on heavy cream wove paper, 1912. 251x267 mm; 10x10 5/8 inches, full margins. One of only several known proofs. Initialed in pencil in the image, lower right. A superb, richly-inked impression of this exceedingly scarce, early print.

This impression is significantly darker and more tonal than the impression illustrated in Krüger. We have found only 2 other impressions at auction in the past 30 years. Krüger 79.
