ERNST BARLACH (1870-1938)

Poet Writing (Johannes at Patmos). Woodcut. 1919. On brownish laid paper. Signed and numbered "2". Schult 159. 27,2:35,2 cm.

Slg./Coll.: Rückseitig von der Hand Friedrich Schults mit "Eigenhändiger Abzug des Künstlers Nr. 2, Geschenk/Friedrich Schult Güstrow" beschriftet. / Annotated on the verso handwriting by Friedrich Schult: Impression no. 2, by the artist himself, gift/Friedrich Schult Güstrow.

Impression outside the edition of 100 signed copies, done by the artist himself, as mentioned by Schult. The proof shows uneven application of colour on the block, however, it displays beautifully the fine qualities of the wood.

Light staining in the margins, small tear and loss in the right margin, small perforation in the upper left corner.
