• Lithographs and etchings from the early 1920s are among the artist's most sought-after graphic works on the international auction market.
• Other copies of this color lithograph are part of the collections of, among others, the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the Kunstmuseum Bern and the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles.
• Following the traumatic events of World War I and in context of an increasingly tense social situation, Dix declarde society's outsiders the dazzling main motif of his depictions.
