This is a vibrant 1912 graphic print of a greyhound by the Austrian artist Moriz Jung. A key work of the Wiener Werkstätte (Vienna Workshop), the piece features a slender, alert greyhound rendered in black and white with expressive, energetic lines. The dog is set against a highly decorative, patterned background of stylized foliage in a brilliant turquoise-teal. The artwork is a masterful blend of animal portraiture and the bold, design-focused aesthetic of the Vienna Secession movement.

Historical Tidbit

This print is a perfect embodiment of the mission of the Wiener Werkstätte (Vienna Workshop), the influential arts and crafts collective Moriz Jung belonged to. Their philosophy was that of the Gesamtkunstwerk (total work of art), where every aspect of life should be elevated by beautiful, modern design. This greyhound, likely created as an affordable artist's postcard, was a way to bring this avant-garde vision into the everyday home. Jung was a master of capturing the unique character of animals with wit and style, a talent tragically cut short when he was killed in WWI at the age of 29.
