About this lot

Description

Windhunde (Study of Greyhounds) signed in pencil and inscribed 'handdruck' [linocut] colour linocut on thin Japan paper 22 x 25cm

Footnote: Born and raised in Graz, Austria, graphic artist and illustrator Norbertine Bresslern-Roth is considered one of the greatest contemporary animal painters worldwide. A pioneer of the linocut process, which was still in its infancy when she was working during the 1920s, her work is prized not only for her deft observation of form, but for the character she was able to capture in each of the animals she depicted.

Condition report: Top right corner slightly creased.
