*Title: Typically AAA prints were signed in pencil but without further pencil annotation; Paulette is the title as it appeared on the AAA label.
**Date: At least one impression was printed, signed and dated in 1939, as it is signed and dated in the artist's hand, l.l., "1939"; however, 1940 is the date this print was published by Associated American Artists. (See "Edition" below.)
***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, calls Paulette an etching. No final determination about the technique or combination of techniques used in this print has yet been arrived at by us.
****Edition: The number "147" is taken from Associated American Artists (AAA) records (Windisch). Typically (but with some exceptions as here), AAA editions were 250 impressions. It is not known how many impressions may have been printed in 1939, and if they are included in the 147 listed by AAA.
*****Signature: (See below.)
Although the identity of Paulette is not currently known, two sketches using the wife of the artist as model could have been studies for the etching. Note in both cases below the image is the reverse of the image in the etching.
