Description from the seller

This photo was personally gifted to me by Erwin in 1985. The work is a unique vintage print because it is 100% certain to have been printed by the master himself and not by an assistant. A museum print of this famous photo is currently hanging in the major overview exhibition Freedom by Erwin Olaf at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam. The photo is also part of the Rijksmuseum's collection. The photo appears in many of Olaf's books and is regarded as one of Erwin Olaf's most important studio works from the early part of his career.
The quality of the 40-year-old photo is exquisite. Almost no signed copies remain of these vintage photos (source: Estate Erwin Olaf).
The print has, for me, been signed and dated by Erwin a few years before he passed away to guarantee the authenticity of the photo. The stamp dates from the time the photo was printed.
