This watercolor drawing by Richard Nicolaüs Roland Holst, titled "Ontwerp voor kostuum voor Atlas," is a costume design for a theatrical production. Created between 1910 and 1918, the design depicts a figure in a loose, flowing tunic and leggings, likely intended for a performance of a play based on Greek mythology. The figure, Atlas, is depicted standing with a staff and extending his hand, possibly representing the weight of the world he is fated to bear. The drawing's muted color palette and graphic lines contribute to its expressive quality, highlighting the dramatic aspects of the design. The drawing is housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
