Kallir D1390 – Leopold Museum, Vienna, Inv. 8314 08. - Sheet from the only reproduction portfolio published during the artist’s lifetime in an edition of 400 copies. Printed under the artist’s supervision at Max Jaffé’s Graphische Anstalt in Vienna. The negatives and printing plates were subsequently destroyed. - “The portfolio of Schiele’s drawings from the years 1913–1917 must be regarded as an incunabulum of Austrian art of this century. Published amid difficult circumstances—both general and personal—in the midst of World War I, this release first brought the public’s attention to Schiele’s work, which until then had not been granted a major or solo exhibition, and whose success did not come until the following year, the year of his death.” (Holstein, Catalog 65, 1978, No. 423).—Mounted on cardboard on the reverse, slightly browned, the edges of the sheet partly slightly bumped, with a small crease at the top.
