Drypoint on Japan paper, 1914. 450x258 mm; 17 3/4x10 1/4 inches, full margins. Second state (of 2). One of only several known proofs. With the artist's estate ink stamp (Lugt 1664h, lower right recto) and signed by the artist's widow, Anita Lehmbruck, in pencil, lower right. A superb, dark impression of this extremely scarce print, with crisp, inky plate edges.

We have found only one other impression of this subject at auction in the past 30 years. Petermann 126.
