| Zwarthalszwaan (swann) | ||||
| Woodcut, c. 1914. Signed with monogram in the block and in pencil “Mesquita” 17.4 x 26.8 cm with margin all round. Printed on thin Japan paper. Litterature: Van Es. Cat. The Hague no. 062. (impressions not traced) |
||||
| Fine impression. The only known impression. The swann was known from an exhibition in 1916 (no. 155) and from the list of works by R.W.P de Vries (no. 76). There exists a preliminary drawing in the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam. Van Es presumes that the print belonged to a group of woodcuts published by De Bois in Haarlem in 20 or 25 impressions. All the others were known to me or Van Es, but this one not. |
