Hafeneinfahrt in Ostende. 1916.
Etching.
Dube R 137. Ebner/Gabelmann 710 R I (of II B). Signed, dated and inscribed "Probe". Titled "Hafeneinf.9.6." by hand in lower margin. Monogrammed and dated in the plate. Only known copy from the first state. On firm paper. 14.7 x 19.4 cm (5.7 x 7.6 in). Sheet: 47,3 x 35,4 cm (18,6 x 13,9 in).

• Only known copy from the first state, in which the piles under the jetty are just slightly adumbrated and with fewer lines in front of the housse in right.
• Clear print image with subtle lines and a softly nuanced plate tone.
• Copies from the second state are at, among others, the Brücke-Museum, Berlin, the Museum Folkwang, Essen, and the Buchheim Museum, Bernried.
• Heckel also made a painting with the same motif: "Hafeneinfahrt in Ostende" (Hünecke 1916-30).
• While Heckel completed most of his paintings from the war year 1916 during his furlough, this etching and the similar drawing of the jetty in the Gerlinger Collection were made on site.
