"Titelvignet met gekroond schedel en apen" (Title Vignette with Crowned Skull and Apes), a woodcut print by Dutch artist Bernard Willem Wierink (1856-1939), is an example of his distinctive style. Created circa 1910, the artwork depicts a crowned skull framed by two monkeys, with a central blank space likely intended for text. Wierink's use of intricate detail and stark contrasts create a visually striking image, showcasing the artist's mastery of the woodcut medium. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum and serves as a reminder of Wierink's unique contribution to graphic design.
