Initialen W, N, E 1904

"Initialen W, N, E" is a 1904 work by Dutch artist Reinier Willem Petrus de Vries. The piece, measuring just 67 mm high and 174 mm wide, features the initials "W", "N", and "E", each enclosed in a square frame and decorated with intricate, stylized floral patterns. The design is reminiscent of Art Nouveau, a popular style at the time characterized by its use of flowing lines, organic forms, and decorative motifs. The piece showcases de Vries' skill in creating detailed and elegant letterforms, reflecting a trend in the early 20th century to elevate typography as an art form.
