Ontwerp voor de schutbladen van een portefeuille 1884 - 1952

This design for a portfolio cover, created by Dutch artist Reinier de Vries between 1884 and 1952, exemplifies the Art Nouveau style. The repeating motif of stylized flowers and flowing lines creates a sense of organic rhythm and elegance, characteristic of the movement. De Vries's design, executed in a warm gold against a pale background, showcases the artistic emphasis on decorative patterns and natural forms that defined Art Nouveau. This design was likely intended to enhance the aesthetic appeal and prestige of the portfolio it was meant to adorn.
