Two Girls in Subway.

Etching on cream wove paper, 1928. 178x270 mm; 7x10 5/8 inches, full margins. Third state (of 4), before the artist cut the plate in half. One of only several proofs before the plate was cut in half (there were only approximately 8 impressions printed of the left half of the plate, according to the artist's records). Signed in pencil, lower right. A superb, richly-inked impression of this extremely scarce etching.

We have found only 2 other impressions at auction in the past 30 years. Sasowsky 58.
