"Head of a Young Girl" by Fernando Castro Pacheco, Mexican, (1918-2013) Linocut All impressions of this print

All impressions of this print and others I have handled by the artist in the past 30 years have been unsigned

and the bottom margin may be trimmed

the foreground composition has always reminded me of Rembrandt's etching "Christ Presented to the People"

This print is reproduced and discussed in detail in both Clinton Adams "American Lithography 1900-1960" and David Acton's "A Spectrum of Innovation - Color in American Printmaking 1890-1960"
