Mädchen (Girl).

Vienna: Avalun Verlag,, 1918. A sensitive linear study by the Austrian expressionist Edition of 125, with the "Egon Schiele 1914" signature stamp to verso upper left. After Schiele's death, 80 impressions unsold during his lifetime were included in the portfolio, Das Graphische Werk, published by Rikola Verlag in 1922; most of these prints, as in the present example, have the stamp to the verso and are unnumbered. Of the entire original edition, 100 copies were printed by Albert Berger Verlag on rag paper, and 25 on Heavy Butten. Those that had been sold during Schiele's lifetime were hand-numbered and stamped on the recto as they were sold; only a very few trial proofs were signed by Schiele. Crayon lithograph printed in black on cream rag paper. Sheet size: 40 x 54 cm. Framed size: 47.8 x 61.6 cm. Tape residue from previous hinging, otherwise in excellent condition. Presented in a dark grey stained frame with conservation acrylic glazing. Kallir Graphics 17b.
