Boekomslag 1887 - 1911

This 1887 - 1911 woodcut design by Dutch artist Gust van de Wall Perné is a striking example of Art Nouveau. The design features a symmetrical pattern of stylized organic shapes reminiscent of plant life. The white shapes are set against a blue background, creating a strong visual contrast. The design is for a book cover, evidenced by the inscription "Boekomslag" and the repeated word "Verzen," which likely refers to the book's poetry content. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
