Ontwerp voor een band of omslag 1884 - 1952

Reinier Willem Petrus de Vries' "Ontwerp voor een band of omslag" is a design for a band or cover, a common art form in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The design itself is a repeating pattern of abstract shapes, utilizing soft colors and subtle shading, likely created as a study for a more elaborate artwork. While the specific intended use remains unknown, the piece's aesthetic and simplicity suggest a possible use for textiles or decorative arts. The subtle, stylized design reflects a trend towards decorative art in the early 20th century, showcasing a graceful interplay of geometric forms and delicate color variations.
