Slinger met plantmotief c. 1901

"Slinger met plantmotief" is a c. 1901 pen-and-ink drawing by Dutch artist Gerrit Willem Dijsselhof (1866-1924), currently held in the Rijksmuseum. This preliminary sketch, likely for a larger design, features a sinuous, plant-like motif that recalls Art Nouveau's stylized, organic forms. Dijsselhof, known for his decorative and illustrative work, was a prominent figure in the Dutch Arts and Crafts movement, whose aesthetic sensibilities are evident in this delicate, linear composition.
