Meandermotieven c. 1890 - 1922

This drawing, "Meandermotieven," by Johanna van de Kamer, is a collection of geometric designs. It is an example of her interest in repeating patterns, inspired by classical motifs. The artwork features a series of variations on the meander pattern, a Greek design that resembles a winding path or a maze. It is a good example of how art nouveau artists were inspired by historical styles while also adding their own modern interpretations. The drawing is executed in watercolor and ink on paper, giving it a delicate and precise quality. It is likely part of a larger design sketchbook, which could have been used to explore design ideas for decorative objects or architecture.
