Sans titre.

Etching on cream laid paper, 1937. 119x220 mm; 4 5/8x8 5/8 inches, full margins. Editon of approximately only 11. Printed at Atelier 17, Paris. A very good impression of this extremely scarce etching.

This is an early impression, taken before the plate was rusted. Later impressions, on wove paper, pulled from the corroded plate, show distinct marks along the left side as well as wear in the very fine, closely-etched lines throughout the background. Wittrock 5.
