Ontwerpen voor een monogram 1919

This sketch by Reijer Stolk from 1919, titled "Ontwerpen voor een monogram" (Designs for a Monogram), shows a series of designs for a monogram. The artwork consists of rough, preliminary sketches of letters and geometric patterns, revealing the creative process behind the development of a personalized mark. The delicate pencil lines on the sheet of paper at the Rijksmuseum hint at the potential for a more elaborate design. The image also includes a zigzag pattern in the top left corner, suggesting Stolk's interest in graphic motifs and patterns. Stolk, born in 1896 and died in 1945, was a prominent Dutch artist and designer.
