Details
Edvard Munch
Melancholy I (Melancholie I) (Sch. 82; W. 91)
woodcut in black, slate grey and pale orange, 1896, on fibrous Japon with wirelines, Woll's fourth (final) state, presumably one of the impressions printed by Lassally, a good impression of this very rare print, the black particularly rich, signed in pencil and inscribed 'Berlin 1904...' (a third word indecipherable, perhaps trimmed), with margins, registration pinholes at the lower left and upper right corners of the subject, several spots inked-in by hand, presumably by the artist to conceal the colour block beneath, a vertical crease in the left margin, occasional soft creasing (just into the subject at the top), old hinges and minor paper losses at the top sheet edge
B. 384 x 454 mm., S. 428 x 520 mm.
