Ontwerp voor kostuum voor Arethusa 1910 - 1918

This design for a costume for Arethusa, a nymph from Greek mythology, was created by the Dutch artist Richard Roland Holst between 1910 and 1918. The drawing, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a woman in a flowing yellow gown with a green sash and sandals, her right arm raised as if she is about to throw a spear. The drawing is a fine example of Holst's work, characterized by its graceful lines and delicate use of color.
