Description: Print from the posthumous portfolio published by Eduard Strache in 1920, two years after the artist’s death—a series of fifteen collotypes (including four in color) reproducing Schiele’s drawings from 1910–1918, produced by Max Jaffé’s renowned Viennese collotype studio. This color print reproduces a portrait study of the artist’s wife, Edith Schiele (“Frau E. Sch.”), based on a work from 1918, the last year of the artist’s life. The sheet is mounted on its original anthracite-gray backing board, as originally published.
Authenticity: Original collotype from the first and only edition (Strache, 1920)—this is neither a reprint nor a later reproduction. A copy of the proof of print run will be provided.
Bibliography: Jane Kallir, Egon Schiele: The Complete Works, 1990, no. 2229.
