Woodcut.
Ebner/Gabelmann 716 H I (of II). Dube H 308. Signed, dated, titled and inscribed "Probedruck". Trial proof and only known proof from the first state. In total, 19 copies are known. 32 x 24.2 cm. Sheet: 38 x 34,2 cm.
With a sketch of a female nude in pencil on the reverse. [JS].
- Rarity. Only known print from the first state, still with the closed black areas on the nose wing, the cheek and in the background. - The work shows one of the two main characters of the novel "Titan" by Jean Paul (4 volumes, published 1800-1809) which Heckel read intensively at this time. - Heckel gave the character of Roquairol the facial features of the artist's friend Ernst Ludwig Kirchner and thus referred to his tense mental state. - This double level of meaning of the motif is also reflected in the titles of the two related paintings "Roquairol" (Hünecke 1917-13) and "Der Freund" (Hünecke 1918-1).
