That Madame von Bresslern-Roth is not only a fine artist and an observer, with a poet's mind, but a designer and a craftsman as well, is amply demonstrated by this brillliant print. The diagonal lines, the forward thrust, the swinging curves, make it the embodiment of motion. The formidable beasts advance on solf-padded silent feet with a stealthy, sinuous grace, the whole rhythm of the composition explaining and enhancing a movement which seems at once inevitable and irresistable. –Martin Hardie
