Pitbull Terrier 1912

"Pitbull Terrier" is a 1912 woodcut by German artist Moriz Jung, known for his animalistic depictions. The black and white print depicts a pitbull terrier, its muscled physique rendered in detailed hatching against a background of orange patterned bricks. This simple yet powerful image captures the breed's strong personality and athleticism, characteristic of Jung's style, which favored close-ups and bold lines. This artwork is representative of the artist's short but prolific career, tragically cut short by his early death in 1915.
