Notes
*Title: Of seven observed impressions, three are titled "Scarecrow" in the artist's hand, l.l. just below the plate mark. (See below.) **Date: One of the seven impressions is annotated, in pencil in the artist's hand, "LQ 1939," l.l. just above the plate mark. This is the only known indication of date. ***Medium: The type of intaglio process (or processes) used is yet to be determined; however, drypoint is the medium Quintanilla worked in most commonly previous to the time of the making of this print and is present here, at least in part. ****Edition: Seven impressions have been observed, but none of them is numbered. *****Signature: Three observed impressions are signed "Luis Quintanilla," l.r. just below the plate mark. (See below.). Related Works: Works featuring animals, often ones in which animals are the sole subject, appear throughout Quintanilla's oeuvre. He executed a series of watercolors of animals in the late forties or early fifties from which the image below comes. (See The Art and World of Luis Quintanilla.)
