Etching with drypoint on flexible heavy wove paper. 1918. Ca. 12.5 x 14 cm (sheet size ca. 19.5 x 18 cm). A numbered copy from an edition of 2. Signed lower right. Inscribed “Eigendruck” lower left. Dated and numbered “12” on the reverse. Very rare. From the second version with slanted edges (due to the fact that the back of the plate was used for “Szene im Zimmer”, 1921, Gercken 1233) of which thus far only posthumous impressions were known. The plate is housed in the Staatlichen Kunsthalle Karlsruhe.
