Whether through the use of color, the rendering of plants, the anatomy of the subject, the graphic choices appear to us here of great modernity. In a traditional "oban" format, this beautiful woodcut print is presented in a mat ivory bristol board in the outer size of 44.7x32.2. Some small consolidations on the back of the lower right corner. Its general state of preservation is very good. 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
