AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Erich Heckel (1883-1970): Self-portrait "E.H."
-----
Relief print on laid paper with embossed shading
Unsigned, undated (circa 1925)
Image size HxW = 13 x 8 cm
-----
Austrian private collection, Salzburg.
-----
The offered sheet is a high-quality book or catalog illustration from the 1920s to 1930s. At that time monographs, art books, or exhibition catalogs about the Expressionists were often equipped with such noble cliché prints on fine paper (sometimes as a loose insert or preferred edition).
The palpable, relief-like impression on the laid paper resembles that of a woodcut and is due to the historical printing technique used for book illustrations. It is a line etching (zinc cliché) in the relief printing process (letterpress).
-----
Condition: very good, with a minimal tear at the upper right edge (see illustrations).
-----
Shipping is carried out as an insured parcel in secure packaging.
