Artist
Käthe Kollwitz 1867 – 1945
About the work
Coloured prints are a rarity in Käthe Kollwitz’s body of work. The artist drew inspiration for her use of colour from the artistic hub of Paris, which she visited for the first time in 1901. Of the coloured lithographs produced between 1898 and 1904, only a few sheets survive and none were printed in a limited edition. Only this portrait was printed in a large edition of several hundred copies for the 1906 annual portfolio of the Society for Reproductive Art in Vienna.
