LITHOGRAPH | The Girl with Blue Headband, 1912

Numbered and handsigned edition at 65 ex.
From the original drawing of Egon Schiele
For the first time in the world in LITHOGRAPH *

* Prior to this edition and despite misleading information on various websites, this drawing by Egon Schiele has never been printed in lithography.
The so-called lithographs (Langlaude editions) proposed by "Paris est une photo" (Galerie Portfolio), "Catawiki" & "Art fever" are indeed simple digital prints.

From the drawing to its printing, this lithograph has been entirely realized by hand.
With the same technical and artistic constraints, the same moves are made on the very same period machines. Drawn and printed on "Marinoni Voirin" lithographic flat press of 1920.

Advantages of hand-colored highlights in lithography :

The hand-colored highlights enhance the realism of the drawing. Each color and its placement have been carefully studied. They are then applied by hand on the lithograph with the utmost precision to "blend in" with the original artwork.
