"Knabe in gestreiftem Hemd " - 1910 ("Boy in striped Shirt")

After Egon Schiele. Provenance: small edition printed in Vienna by the State Print Office of Austria (Staatsdruckerei Österreich) on high quality paper in 1951.

This rare print, which demonstrate Schiele's distinctive style, is very well preserved after all these years (70+ years since it was printed).
Please see pictures for details about its exact condition.

From a private collection, Austria.

Very hard to find as the majority are now in institutions or private collections.

Please note: this is an original phototype from 1951, not a later reproduction or giclee print, which are far more common.

International shipping, max. 2 working days after the end of the auction. With tracking and insurance. Will be very carefuly and securely packed.

Phototype is the highest quality printing process ever, with only three phototype printshops left in the world today. 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 or prints in small editions. It makes possible to achieve prints of incredibly high original fidelity.
