Phototype technique is the highest quality printing process ever. The colour image is broken down into up to 25 colours and then printed on top of each other in as many print cycles.
The finished image achieved a colour quality that was almost comparable to that of an oil image.
This technique was mainly used for illustrating books / prints in small editions. Makes possible to achieve prints of incredibly high original fidelity.

Egon Schiele (12 June 1890 - 31 October 1918) was an Austrian painter. Schiele was a protégé of Gustav Klimt and an important figurative painter of the early 20th century. His work is known for its intensity and its rough sexuality and the many self-portraits that the artist made. The twisted body shapes and the expressive line that characterize the works of Schiele mark the artist as an early exponent of expressionism.
