Lot 89: Troels Wörsel, 2 Color Lithographs of a Blackjack, around 1990

These two color lithographs were created by Danish artist Troels Wörsel around 1990. They illustrate, with slight variations, the characteristic motif associated with pirates, which is the so called ‘blackjack’. Executed in black and grey colors, these ‘blackjacks’ are marked ‘A.P.’ as artist proofs. In addition to the edition of lithographs Troels Wörsle also created an acrylic painting depicting the same motif.

Both color lithographs are marked ‘A. P.’ and signed with pencil ‘T. Wörsel’. The sheets are in very good condition indicating only minimal studio traces below the image. One sheet shows traces of old mounting on the back. The sheet’s size are ca. 46.5 x 53.5 cm each.
