This rare print, which demonstrates Schiele's distinctive style, is very well preserved.
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.

Very difficult to find as the majority are now in private collections.
Please note: this is an original heliogravure/phototype from the 1940s, not a later reproduction or giclee print, which are far more common.

About the phototype technique:
Phototype is the highest quality printing process ever, with only three phototype printshops left in the world today. The colour image is broken down into up to 25 colours and then printed on top of each other in as many print cycles. 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.
