Black Chalks , watercolor, ink brush and pen over pencil. Monogrammed in lower right. On brownish wove paper. 30.9 x 45.1 cm. , size of sheet. [CH]. - Particularly early work by the great expressionist. - From the acclaimed Serge Sabarsky Collection. - Long exhibition history. - Kokoschka was considered an enfant terrible from an early point on, which soon earned him a name in the Vienna art scene: He participated in the 'Wiener Kunstschau', a grand exhibition of modern art (in 1908 organized by Gustav Klimt and Josef Hoffmann) as early as in 1908 and 1909, around the time this wpork was amde. - Works from this early creative period after Kokoschka's training at the Vienna School of Arts and Crafts are extremely rare on the international auction market. - Through the simplification of the form and the formally liberated figure, the work already hints at Kokoschka's later unconventional mature style.
