Lot Essay

The present impression appears to be one of the later trial proofs by the artist discussed by Woll (Gerd Woll, Edvard Munch. The complete Graphic Works, London, New York, Munich, 2001, pp. 158). It bears close comparison with the impression in the Epstein Collection (Edvard Munch, Master Prints from the Epstein Family Collection, Baltimore, 1990, p. 110), which is also printed on fibrous Japon.
