Ornamenten c. 1901

"Ornamenten", a c. 1901 work by Dutch artist Gerrit Willem Dijsselhof, is a delicate and intricate pencil sketch displayed at the Rijksmuseum. The artwork showcases a series of abstract shapes and patterns, reminiscent of Art Nouveau's emphasis on organic forms and flowing lines. Dijsselhof's sketch captures the essence of design elements that would likely have been further developed for use in decorative or architectural projects, demonstrating the artist's meticulous attention to detail and mastery of form.
