Original drypoint and soft ground etching printed on thick, soft ivory vellin (wove) paper. The image is 9 inches by 5 1/2 inches on a sheet that is 13 1/2 inches by 9 1/4 inches (230X141mm). Archivally matted in an off-white passe-partout. From a posthumous edition printed in Munich by the wife and son of art dealer Alexander von der Becke circa 1963/65 with the publisher's 2-line blindstamp ("AVDBECKE MUENCHEN22") at the lower right corner of the image. Käthe Kollwitz is considered by many art critics to be the greatest German expressionist of the 20th century. Her etchings portraying women have become particularly sought-after in recent years. The etching offered here is a superb impression on a clean and bright sheet of paper. Size: 9" by 5 1/2". Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers W1891
