396 - Michel Fingesten, *La croix au bord du chemin*—Preparatory drawing for *La Danza Macabra*. ca. 1938. Pen, black India ink, and pencil on paper. 553 × 419 mm, Guercio-Gonnelli Manetti, 76/VII. Titled in the lower margin. A rare preparatory work for the series of 13 engravings and mixed-media pieces created in 1938, of which no more than ten copies were made. The theme, also taken up by other important engravers such as Alberto Martini, addresses the bitter and desperate truth of war. The work was later reproduced as a photogravure and framed at the lower margin by a macabre drypoint remarque. (1) Some minor imperfections along the margins with small pinholes at the upper margin. Overall, in excellent condition.
