Enlarged picture

Very nice impression and colours. Paper a little bit darkened due to its age, a tiny bit stained in the sky and at margins, three weak creases at margins, at the back side of the left margin paper partly a little bit thinner. Otherwise throughout very good condition. Rare print, especially with the hand-written inscriptions, of a limited edition. Although he was quite productive, just a few works of art are known, made by this artist. Lit.: Merritt/Yamada, p 120.
