"Mädchen mit grünen Strümpfen" - 1914 ("Girl in green Stockings") After Egon Schiele. Provenance: small edition printed in Vienna by the State Print Office of Austria (Staatsdruckerei Österreich) on high quality paper in 1951. Signed and dated in the plate : "Egon Schiele 1914". This rare print, which demonstrate Schiele's distinctive style, is very well preserved after all these years. It hasn't ever been framed; it has been stored throughout the 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 in 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, tracking and insurance. Will be very carefuly and securely packed (see reviews). Phototype technique is the highest quality printing process ever, with only three phototype printshops left in the world today. 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. 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.
