Ontwerp voor kostuum voor Lycoris 1910 - 1918

"Ontwerp voor kostuum voor Lycoris" (Design for a Costume for Lycoris) is a watercolor on paper by Dutch symbolist painter Richard Nicolaüs Roland Holst, completed between 1910 and 1918. The work depicts a woman in a flowing white robe, adorned with a green dress featuring decorative gold and blue accents. She holds a bowl, with a stream of water flowing from it. The figure is set against a dark background with a lone plant in the foreground. The design is a testament to Holst's interest in classical motifs and his signature use of symbolic imagery. The work, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, showcases Holst's mastery of watercolor and his exploration of the female form in art.
