Dresden, not published, ca. 1898. Single sheet (40.0 x 39.6 cm), mounted on larger, blank sheet (60.7 x 48.8 cm). Gouache, painted on one side.

A fine original work – of a typical Jugendstil design with poppies – by the German artist Otto Westphal (1878-1975), apparently a design for a rug. "Westphal attended the Kunstgewerbeschule Kassel from 1894 to 1896 and from 1896 the Prussian Höhere Fachschule für Textilindustrie / Webschule Krefeld. He then worked in the arts and crafts style. In 1899 he went to Berlin and was a pupil of the educational institution of the Museum of Applied Arts in Berlin and in the study studio for painting and sculpture, the so-called Lewin Funcke School in Berlin-Charlottenburg. From 1904 to 1907 he studied at the Dresden Academy of Arts under Richard Müller and Carl Bantzer. Subsequently, he worked freelance in Dresden" (Wikipedia). Some light creasing to the edges and a few short, marginal tears, otherwise in very good condition. A unique item.
