* Prior to this edition and despite misleading information on various art galleries and websites, this drawing by Gustav Klimt has never been printed in lithography. It is more precisely facsimiles from a portfolio, far from the quality of a lithograph and which fail to reproduce a number of features and colors (white chalk) yet well present on the original drawing.
The version we propose today reproduces, for the first time in lithography, this drawing as Gustav Klimt realized it in 1917.
