Ontwerp voor een ring 1913

This 1913 design for a ring by Dutch architect and designer Mathieu Lauweriks is a sketch on graph paper. The drawing is composed of four views of the ring. Lauweriks was known for his innovative designs in the early 20th century and contributed to the development of the Art Nouveau and Art Deco movements. This work is an example of his artistic vision and attention to detail. The Art Nouveau influence can be seen in the sinuous forms of the design, while the Art Deco style is visible in the geometric lines and the bold use of black ink.
