Rol met paars lint met één gerafelde zijde en drie witte horizontale strepen c. 1935

This artwork, created by Gustav Schnitzler around 1935, is a simple yet intriguing piece. It depicts a spool of purple ribbon with white stripes and a frayed edge, showcasing the artist's interest in everyday objects. The piece, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into the materials and textures that were prevalent in the era, highlighting the artistic potential found in even the most commonplace items. The detail of the frayed edge adds a touch of imperfection, reminding viewers of the ephemerality of life and objects. The artwork is an example of still life, a genre that often focuses on everyday objects and their compositions.
