Katze und Hahn. 1955.
Pencil drawing.
Lorenz SW 10.3.11. Kabus 737. Old Dix archive no. Z 1955 / 02. Signed lower right. With inscription on verso of backing paper. On two jointed papers with typographic print on verso. Firmly mounted on wove paper by Fabriano (with watermark). 18 x 20,9 cm (7 x 8,2 in), size of sheet. Backing paper: 22 x 27,7 cm (8,6 x 10,9 in).
This sheet presumably is a preliminary study for the painting of the same name from 1955 (Löffler 1955 9 and 10). In 1965 Dix also made a gouache (Pfäffle 1965/1) and a lithography (Karsch 306) with the same motif. [KH].

EXHIBITION: Galerie Stuckert, Constance, December 1970.
