In the Studio (Im Atelier)
Woodcut printed in colors, 1899, edition 100. 5 1/4 x 6 1/16 in. Signed in pencil. This is a fine, fresh impression printed on thin japan paper. The margins are full. The condition is fine apart from slight light toning showing within an early mat opening. This print is page 26 from the rare portfolio, Kleine Holzschnitte, published by Verlag Neue Kunsthandlung, 1920, Berlin. There were thirty-four prints in total. The prints were mounted at the top corners on a support sheet as we have here. Orlik was born in Prague and later studied at the Munich Academy. He traveled to Japan in 1900 and spent several months studying the traditional art of the Japanese woodcut.
