LYONEL FEININGER
Fischerboote.

Woodcut on oatmeal-tan and carbon-copy paper, 1918. 125x165 mm; 4⅞x6½ inches, full margins. First state (of 2). Artist's proof, aside from the published edition of 50 in the second state for Holzschnitte von Lyonel Feininger. Signed and inscribed with the work number "1884" in pencil, lower margin. A very good impression of this extremely scarce woodcut.

Prasse cites only three impressions in this state, before the elimination of the small rectangles lower left and parts of the border, like the current work, in public collections.

Provenance: Feininger Estate, with the ink stamp and numbered "G. W No. 22 I/II", lower right recto. Prasse 98.
