Otto Mueller
(Liebau 1874–1930 Breslau)
Hockendes und knieendes Mädchen, c. 1912, Lithograph on smooth, yellowish paper, signed Otto Mueller, image size 32.6 x 43.2 cm, sheet size 38 x 49.7 cm, Karsch 31,
Karsch only knows of one copy, but suspects 3 existing prints. The present example is thus the second that has become known. The overall effect of our copy is clearer than that illustrated by Karsch, which is printed with a lot of tone, especially in the sky and on the left edge. In contrast to this, the present example shows a light gray area over the back of the kneeling girl, which is not recognizable on the print illustrated by Karsch. From 1908 Otto Mueller used what he called an “old stone” for his lithographs, with a semi-circular edge chipping.
