Art Deco Drawing of a Borzoi Dog - Gouache and Pencil on Buff Paper.

1900 - 1920
Description

ART DECO DRAWING OF A BORZOI DOG - GOUACHE AND PENCIL ON BUFF PAPER.

Wonderful and large art deco drawing of a Borzoi dog in gouache/white body colour and pencil on buff paper.

Executed by a very talented hand indeed (signed Floch) the artist has worked with rapid, deft and lively strokes to capture this the high fashion canine breed of the era.

As is evidenced by this fine work the tall, lean look of the Borzoi breed aligned perfectly with the streamline aesthetic of the Art Deco Era. The continued popularity of Borzoi dogs was helped by Hollywood’s silent movie stars like Greta Garbo and Mae West, who posed with them in publicity photos for their films in the late 1920s to early 30s.

This drawing is in good condition and comes ready to hang and enjoy in a slightly later antique ebonised frame with gilt detail.

Measures: 50cm x 44cm

FAQs

Art Deco canine artwork typically emphasises sleek lines, geometric composition, and stylized anatomical forms. Popular subjects included sighthounds such as Borzois and Greyhounds, whose elongated silhouettes complemented the aesthetic trends of the period.

Artists of the early 20th century frequently utilised graphite, charcoal, or coloured pencil paired with white opaque gouache for highlights. These mediums were applied to tinted or buff-coloured heavy paper supports to establish depth and contrast.

Authentic period drawings display natural signs of aging on the paper substrate, such as subtle toning or foxing. They often feature hand-applied pencil or gouache textures, artist stamps or monograms, and period-appropriate mounting technique.

A framed vintage drawing can be hung individually as a focal point or integrated into a gallery wall alongside contemporary prints. Pairing the artwork with minimalist frames creates a balanced juxtaposition between historic artwork and modern furniture.

Works on paper should be framed using acid-free mounting materials and UV-filtering protective glass. Keep the artwork away from direct sunlight and areas of high humidity to prevent fading, discoloration, and paper degradation.
