Von dem Knesebeck 161e. – One of 100 copies. – This lithograph depicts a woman whose face is concealed by her own hand – a gesture of forlornness and inner contemplation that runs as a recurring motif throughout the artist’s oeuvre. A contemporary friend and publicist of the artist, Arthur Bonus, aptly described the work as ‘The Desperate Woman’ – a title that aptly captures the emotional ambivalence of the print.
Lithograph on laid paper. Signed in stone, inscribed and numbered by a third party. Mounted under a passe-partout. – Paper slightly yellowed with age, with a few tiny, scattered spots. Overall in very good condition. Excellent, chalky print.
