Inspired by a visit to the Soviet Union(1988) to open his one-man show at Moscow's famed Tretiakov Gallery, LeRoy Neiman completed "Borzoi," a magnificent portrait of a noble Russian Wolfhound. The resulting serigraph abounds in contrasts. While the untrained eye may see a simple study of white on black, careful inspection reveals a subtle silkscreen image which required the application of no fewer than twenty-six colors.

Prior to the Russian Revolution of 1917, the borzoi was owned and bred exclusively by the landed gentry of the Czar's kingdom. Today it is popular with the wealthy and the working man alike. The breed, though raised to hunt and in some instances to kill wolves, has proved remarkably gentle. Neiman's sympathetic portrayal reveals a borzoi who is keenly alert, intelligent, with a sweet disposition and tractable manner. His borzoi is a born aristocrat representative of the breed- affectionate in moderation and companionable.

Even in repose "Borzoi" reflects strength and swiftness together with a regal, graceful bearing. The handsome borzoi depicted is a large, long-coated dog with small, folded ears set on high and tapering to a fine point. The skull is long, narrow and clean, surmounted by a Roman nose with its slightly curved bridge. The borzoi is a sight hound, trained to hunt by sight, not scent, and it is not surprising that its eyes show such warmth and understanding. Their rich black color and almond shape combine with "Borzoi's" slender elegance to lend an air of exotic beauty.
