*Title: Typically AAA published prints were signed in pencil but without further pencil annotation; Deer and Faun is the title as it appeared on the AAA label. (See below..
**Date: Dated 1939 in the plate (See below.), making that the year of execution; however, 1940 is the year Deer and Faun was published by Associated American Artists.
***Medium: Although Quintanilla's most commonly employed intaglio printmaking technique was drypoint, which was the sole technique he used in Spain, Associated American Artists, the publisher of this print, called Deer and Faun an etching. It is very unusual to find a drypoint in an edition as large as 250. No final determination about the technique or combination of techniques used in this print has yet been arrived at by us.
****Edition: The number "171" is taken from Associated American Artists (AAA) records (Windisch). Typically (but with some exceptions as here), AAA editions were 250 impressions.
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.)
