Soyer, Raphael. JAPANESE GIRL. Cole 118. Lithograph, 1967. 9 x 15 1/4 inches; 219 x 390 mm. An Artists's Proof aside from the edition of 40 published by A.A.A. Inscribed "A.P." and signed in pencil. Printed by Irwin Hollander, with his embossed monogram, lower right. In excellent condition. An attractive, infrequently seen print. "This is a Japanese girl who was one of Hollander's assistants...I did this with tusche. I enjoy working with tusche, but it can be a tricky thing. It may come out or it may not.
