Original Description
Greyhound And Japanese Screen by Anna Sophie Gasteiger (1877–1908) is a captivating Art Nouveau painting that masterfully blends Western and Eastern aesthetics. The artwork depicts an elegant greyhound resting beside a folding Japanese screen (byōbu), creating a striking juxtaposition between the organic flow of the hound’s form and the screen’s intricate, stylized patterns. Signed in the lower right corner, this gem-sized painting (measuring just 30x22cm) exemplifies Gasteiger’s distinctive style – delicate brushwork harmonizing with bold decorative elements. As a Munich Secession artist, Gasteiger drew inspiration from the Japonisme movement sweeping through late 19th-century Europe. Her work occupies a unique place in art history as part of the German branch of Art Nouveau (Jugendstil), where animal motifs often symbolized modernity meeting tradition. The painting’s contemplative mood, achieved through muted earth tones contrasting with the screen’s gold accents, reflects the period’s fascination with exoticism blended with domestic tranquility.
For interior styling, this artwork would shine in a study or executive office where its sophisticated East-meets-West theme could complement modern minimalist or traditional settings. The intimate scale makes it perfect for creating a focal point above a console table or as part of a salon-style art wall, ideally paired with dark walnut frames and matte gold accents to echo the screen’s gilding. Position it where natural light enhances its subtle color palette - warm beige walls would allow the greyhound’s tones to emerge, while deep green or indigo backdrops would make the golden screen elements pop. In contemporary spaces, balance its ornamental quality with clean-lined furniture; in traditional settings, pair it with japanned cabinets or bamboo elements for thematic resonance. The vertical format suggests hanging at eye-level in intimate seating areas where viewers can appreciate its exquisite detail.
