Bandbox Design c. 1936

"Bandbox Design" is a woodcut print by Martin Partyka, created around 1936. The print depicts a hunting scene with a stag and three hounds running through a woodland setting. The stylized forms and flat colors of the woodcut, set against a bright yellow background, evoke a sense of traditional folk art. Partyka's design was likely intended for a decorative application, such as a bandbox, a container used to store hats and other clothing items.
