In excellent condition, with the original cream-colored cardboard passepartout included with the drystamp of the publishing house logo "III. s" at the center on lower margin. A little rip on the lower right corner of the passepartout. This modern original print representing a street homeless begging demonstrates a great human and pictorial sensibility and surely is an artwork conceived in his Roman period when this kind of subjects was frequent. Erich Wolfsfeld (Krojanke, 1884 - London, 1956). Erich Wolfsfeld learned to etch in the studio of Hans Meyer, From 1907 worked in Rome, where he met Otto Greiner, and painted Italian street beggars. In 1905 was commissioned by the Prussian government to make etched copies of byzantine frescoes in the classical ruins of Priene, for a report, now disappeared, on the excavations. In 1911 won the Kaiser Wilhelm Gold Medal for his picture The Archers, his success was growing.
