the plate, at left: “Orig. Rad. von Käte Kollwitz” and at right: “Druck

copperplate paper was published by Von der Becke in 1931. 17 5/8 X 17
9/16 inches, 448 x 446 mm. (plate). In excellent condition. One of the
several large plates on the theme of Death, Mother, and Child which
Kollwitz did in 1910. In the others, the struggle is between the Mother
and Death for the life of the Child; in this one it is the Child who
tries to save the Mother from Death. One of Kollwitz's most powerful and
tragic images.
