Japanerin im Winterkleid (Japanese Woman in Winter Dress)

The print portrays a woman in traditional Japanese winter attire, standing in a snowy setting. Her dark hair contrasts with the white fur trim on her kimono, set against a simple backdrop of snow and shadow.

Orlik employed drypoint to scratch the metal plate, then applied roulette—a spiked wheel rolled over the lines—to soften them, resulting in a quiet, textured visual effect.

Created during Orlik's active period across Prague, Austria, and Germany, the work reflects the significant influence of Japanese art on European visuals at the turn of the 20th century.

Part of a broader European fascination with Japanese culture, this piece exemplifies Orlik's adaptation of Japanese motifs and print techniques in his work.

Examples of Orlik's prints, including this one, are held in collections such as the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., highlighting his contribution to early 20th-century printmaking.
