The present etching is a work by the Austrian artist Peter Dworak and dates back to 1972. The depiction is structured like a comic and shows different images related to the title ‘STRIP’ which is displayed at the lower center. The attention of the viewer is especially attracted by the depiction of a naked woman sitting in an erotic pose at the upper right corner.

The etching on solid vellum shows an insult to the upper epidermis at the lower right side of the image. There is a narrow trace of pale color at the upper left margin of the vellum. The corners of the paper are slightly rubbed due to a former mounting. The work is signed and dated with pencil lower right ‘Peter Dworak/72’. On the lower left side the work is inscribed with pencil ‘E.d’A.’. The sheet size is 49.5 x 64 cm. The plate measures 34 x 39 cm. (cbo)
