Ornamenten 1884 - 1952

"Ornamenten" is a design for an ornamental motif by Dutch artist Reinier de Vries, created between 1884 and 1952. The pen and ink drawing features two identical, symmetrical designs composed of intricate curvilinear patterns that create a sense of movement and intricate detail. The motif itself is likely intended to be a corner design for a larger decorative work, as its shape and positioning suggest. De Vries's work frequently explored the interplay between organic and geometric forms, drawing inspiration from traditional decorative styles.
