Stempelontwerp voor: J.F. Staal 1916

This 1916 design by Dutch artist Richard Nicolaüs Roland Holst for a stamp features an intricate circular composition. The design depicts a stylized couple embracing, their clasped hands positioned centrally. The couple is surrounded by a decorative border that includes the name "J.F. Staal, Architect" and the Latin motto "Ars Sine Necessitas". The artwork highlights Holst's interest in symbolism and graphic design, and its meticulous detail and striking use of red and gold colors make it a visually captivating piece.
