Otto Dix

Mädchenkopf
1932

Red chalk drawing on white grounded card with embossed mark 'KATASTRON'. 58.2 x 46.9 cm. Signed and dated '1932' in the lower centre with the artist's signet. Inscribed in pencil "Mädchen-Kopf - Rötel" verso. - In good condition. Minor abrasions and thumbtack holes to the edges.

With regard to the depiction, the technique, the size and the mark KATASTRON, this red chalk drawing can be related to a further study listed by Lorenz (Lorenz NSk 11.5.24) and was probably made in the same context. Both red chalk drawings are probably preparatory works for the paintings "Blond Demi-Nude" (Löffler 1932/10 and Löffler 1932/15).
