Egon Schiele — Das Graphische Werk von Egon Schiele
Egon Schiele

Das Graphische Werk von Egon Schiele

This rare and complete portfolio by Egon Schiele brings together eight prints — five drypoints, one etching, and two lithographs — executed on delicate Japanese and wove papers, showcasing the artist's mastery of line and raw psychological intensity. Accompanied by an introduction by Arthur Roessler, the work stands as an important document of Schiele's graphic practice. Presented in its original green paper-covered portfolio with the sheets loose as issued, this is a remarkable example of early 20th-century Viennese Expressionism in its most intimate printed form.
