Ontwerp voor een monogram c. 1901

"Ontwerp voor een monogram" (Design for a monogram) is a pencil drawing by Gerrit Willem Dijsselhof, a prominent Dutch artist active in the early 20th century. Created around 1901, the drawing showcases Dijsselhof's interest in graphic design and his ability to create elegant and stylized letterforms. The monogram, which is likely his own initials, features a circular motif with a decorative element, possibly representing a stylized compass, demonstrating his artistic talent for combining geometric forms with subtle symbolism. Currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, this artwork provides a glimpse into the versatility of Dijsselhof's artistic practice and his contributions to Dutch graphic design.
