Ontwerp voor een monogram met de letters J en B c. 1869 - 1925

Antoon Derkinderen’s "Ontwerp voor een monogram met de letters J en B" is a small, delicate drawing depicting a monogram. The work was likely created between 1869 and 1925, spanning a period of time near the end of the artist’s life. Derkinderen uses a stylized script to create the intertwined letters "J" and "B," suggesting a possible dedication to a person or couple, which is typical of monogram designs. The minimalist composition and elegant script enhance the visual appeal of this piece, making it a fine example of Art Nouveau-inspired decorative arts.
