Eduard Wiiralt (Estonian, 1898-1954). Copperplate etching on paper titled "Porgu (Hell)" depicting an intense surrealist rendition of hell, with figures melding into each other in contorted positions, 1930. Ink signed along the lower right; inscribed "Porgu - eau forte ja vaselige 1930" along the lower left. Additionally signed in print along a creature in the lower left of the image. Inscribed in pencil along the verso "122 III 1948."
Height: 22 1/2 in x width: 25 1/4 in.

Condition

The sheet is toned unevenly - more so around the perimeter of the image. Some light wear along the extreme edges of the sheet. Some evidence of moisture exposure along the lower edge of the sheet - the lower edge is slightly discolored. A few small pieces of old tape affixed to the edges of the verso. There are few areas of light skimming likely corresponding to now lost pieces of tape. The work is not framed.
