Decoratieve patronen uit Port Harcourt c. 1916 - 1945

This work by Dutch artist Reijer Stolk (1896-1945) depicts a series of sketches of geometric patterns. The artwork, titled "Decoratieve patronen uit Port Harcourt," was created between 1916 and 1945. The artist, a noted designer, used pencil on paper to create the designs. The artwork is a valuable example of Stolk’s fascination with geometric motifs and their potential for decorative applications. The sketches are likely inspired by Stolk's travels to Nigeria, as indicated by the title and the inscription “Port Harcourt.” The work is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
