item#: 1370917
price: SOLD
Pencil-signed etching by Czech artist Emil Orlik (1870-1932) titled "In the Evening" (Im Abend) dated 1902. This etching was produced shortly after the artist's arrival in Japan in 1900. Plate size: 6 1/2" x 4 5/8" with large margins and deckled edges to the laid paper (paper size: 9 3/4" x nearly 8 1/2"). Very good overall condition. Slight toning is evident. There are traces of adhesive residue to the top margin edge and small paper losses to the margin at the top left and upper right edges. A pencil notation is at the lower margin. Orlik was among the earliest of the Western artists who made the perilous journey to Japan to study the craft of woodblock printmaking.
