Die Heliogravuren verso\~numeriert und beschriftet, Format ca. 22,4 : 16,2 cm. - "The great fascination of Etudes de nu is in observing Krull's struggle with the conventions of the nude genre, her own sensibilities, and the restrictions regarding the photographic nude that pertained even in Paris .. the results might have been even more challenging on several different levels - the formal, the personal, the psychological and the erotic." (Parr/Badger)
