Youth (Jugend)
Linoleum cut, 1930, edition unknown. 10 1/4 x 11 1/4 in. Signed in pencil and inscribed, "handdruck." This is a fine impression printed on her typical thin Japanese paper. The margins are substantial and this is probably the full, untrimmed sheet. The condition is fine apart from a tiny stain just to the right of the image in the upper corner. The is a beautiful impression. Bersslern-Roth studied with Ferdinand Schmutzer at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. In the 1920s, she was one of the first women to become deeply involved with the linocut process which she focused on up until about 1952.
