Erinyes is original black China ink drawing on ivory-colored paper applied on cardboard, made by the Swedish illustrator and reporter Adolf Reinhold Hallman around 1956 in New York City. Hand-signed on the lower right. With description on the rear On the back the blue ink stamp "Made in Italy by Adolf Hallman, 54 Via Margutta Roma". The state of preservation is good. This artwork represents the head of Erinye through confident and deft strokes in black ink with serious looks and long hair, the Erinyes are goddesses of vengeance and retribution who punished men for crimes against the natural order. They were particularly concerned with homicide. Adolf Hallman (1893 – 1968) was a Swedish illustrator who sensibly contributed to Swedish, Danish and Norwegian newspapers and magazines, including Tidens Tegn, Dagbladet, Exlex and Politiken. Among his books is På Boulevard Europa. He illustrated editions of Charles Baudelaire's Fleurs du Mal and Guy de Maupassant's Boule de Suif. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
