Vingerdoek met vissen c. 1900 - 1925

"Vingerdoek met vissen" (Finger Cloth with Fish) is a textile design created by Dutch artist Chris Lebeau, a prominent figure in the Art Nouveau movement, around the early 20th century. This intricate design, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Lebeau's mastery of stylized forms. The central motif, a stylized goblet, is surrounded by a rhythmic pattern of fish and plant-like tendrils. This striking geometric composition, with its graceful lines and elegant curvatures, reflects the characteristic features of Art Nouveau, emphasizing organic and natural forms.
