Fabric design with birds for Backhausen 1899

This design for a fabric pattern by Koloman Moser, created in 1899, features a motif of stylized birds in an elegant, repeating pattern. The birds are rendered in black ink on a white background, creating a striking visual contrast. Moser's use of simplified forms and bold lines is characteristic of the Art Nouveau style, which was popular at the turn of the 20th century. This piece is an example of Moser's work as a designer and illustrator, and highlights the innovative use of organic forms and decorative elements that were central to the Art Nouveau aesthetic.
