Cartouche in een rechthoekig kader 1912

This 1912 drawing by Dutch architect Reinier de Vries is a preliminary sketch for a design element, likely intended for a building or decorative object. The drawing shows a cartouche, an oval-shaped frame often used to hold inscriptions, within a rectangular frame, and is drawn on graph paper, indicating a precise approach to the design. De Vries was known for his meticulous work in the Dutch Renaissance Revival style, evident in this drawing's use of classical motifs and symmetrical composition.
