Ontwerp voor een taartschep 1913 - 1916

This detailed pencil drawing by Dutch architect and designer Mathieu Lauweriks is a design for a cake server. Dated 1913-1916, the drawing depicts the server in a stylized, almost organic form with flowing lines and a central motif of overlapping circles. The design reflects Lauweriks' interest in Art Nouveau and geometric shapes, and the inscription on the drawing indicates his dedication to a functional yet aesthetically pleasing approach to design. This artwork showcases the transition from the decorative to the functional in Dutch design in the early 20th century.
