Note:
This drypoint is a reversed image of Corinth's painting 'Frauenraub' which was executed in 1904. It was exhibited during the 1905 Berlin Secession. The whereabouts of the painting are regrettably unknown. The subject of Women Raiders’ is a classical or mythologicala subject matter, which is typical of Corinth’s work at this time.
