"Monogrammen JHvH" is a woodcut by Reinier Willem Petrus de Vries, created between 1884 and 1952. The artwork features two renditions of the monogram "JHvH," a common abbreviation for "Jehovah" in Dutch, rendered in bold, red lettering. De Vries, a Dutch artist known for his graphic designs and woodcuts, likely produced this piece for a personal or religious project. The stark contrast between the white background and red lettering creates a sense of formality and reverence, characteristic of religious iconography. This small-scale work exemplifies de Vries's mastery of woodcut technique and his interest in typography and symbolism.
