Four Jewelry Designs 

This drawing by Josef Hoffmann, a leading figure in the Wiener Werkstätte movement, presents four designs for jewelry. Executed in black and white, with the delicate use of silver, the designs are geometrically abstract and simplified, showcasing Hoffmann's characteristic emphasis on functionality and simplicity. The work highlights the influence of the Arts and Crafts Movement, demonstrating the growing fascination with functional aesthetics in early 20th century art. The minimalist approach is indicative of the era's pursuit of clarity and form over ornamentation, a hallmark of the modernist movement.
