More about this artwork
The painting depicts a woman standing beside a greyhound. The woman is clad in a long, dark coat and a wide-brimmed hat, her face turned slightly away, giving a profile view. She wears a polka-dot scarf around her neck. The greyhound, colored in a soft rusty hue, stands alert beside her, with a slender body and long, narrow head characteristic of the breed. The woman holds a leash, attached to the greyhound's collar, in one of her hands. The background of the painting is muted, mostly plain with textural elements suggesting a simple, understated setting.

Edward Penfield (1866-1925) was an influential American poster artist, considered as the father of the American poster movement. He was employed as an art editor for Harper’s Weekly, Monthly, and Harper’s Bazaar, where he made posters advertising each issue of the magazine for over seven years. His art was avant-garde with less concern for the dramatic curving lines of Art Nouveau, inspired by Japanese ukiyo-e block prints, figure drawings by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, color lithographies by Jules Chéret, and other contemporary artists. He created simplified scenes of daily life in saturated colors, including horses, cats, sports, and women’s fashion.
