The printing process is of the highest quality and is almost comparable to the original. Today there are only 3 printers in the whole world that use this. The color image is split - from light to dark - into up to 25 colors and then printed on top of each other in as many print cycles. This technique was mainly used in small editions.

Egon Schiele (June 12, 1890 – October 31, 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 raw sexuality and the many self-portraits the artist made. The twisted body shapes and expressive line that characterize Schiele's works mark the artist as an early exponent of expressionism.
