"Kirchner ususally treated the stone with feather, brush or [- as it is the case with this work -] chalk. Only few sheets were executed on spirit duplicator copy paper. Together with Erich Heckel, Kirchner developed a method to make the impressions from the drawings on the stone by hand. The complete edition usually was not larger than five to seven copies."
