This woodcut print by Austrian artist Urban Janke (1887–1914) titled *Vienna: Garden House in the Arenberg Garden* depicts a small, partially brick building with a pitched roof. It is likely a house in the Arenberg Garden in Vienna, Austria. The building is nearly concealed by lush greenery, with the vibrant, geometrically patterned foliage filling the majority of the composition. This artwork is a prime example of woodcut printmaking, a technique involving carving an image into a block of wood and then using the block to transfer ink onto paper. The precise lines and flat planes of color characteristic of this technique are evident throughout.
