In comparison with lithographs and woodcuts the etchings occupy a relatively small part in the artist's graphic oeuvre. Our sheet is particularly remarkable for two reasons. It is a very early work from 1907 and it is one of the few etchings that combines the etching technique with roulette and aquatint.
