A slender greyhound rendered in polished brass captures the refined elegance characteristic of early 20th century Viennese design, its elongated body and fluid contours emphasizing movement even in repose. The sculptural language is reduced to essential lines, the curve of the tail and the uplifted neck suggesting both grace and restraint, an approach aligned with the aesthetics of the Vienna Secession and the emerging Art Déco.
Created by Karl Hagenauer for Werkstätte Hagenauer Wien, the piece reflects the workshop’s distinctive synthesis of functional form and artistic expression, where animals were frequently translated into stylized silhouettes of striking modernity. The warm surface of the brass enhances the play of light across the figure, and the underbase bears the maker’s mark along with the Austrian origin, confirming its provenance within the celebrated Hagenauer tradition.
The piece shows light scratches and wear from previous use, as can be seen in the pictures.
