Twee banden met een bladmotief 1876 - 1924

"Twee banden met een bladmotief" is a pencil sketch by Dutch artist Gerrit Willem Dijsselhof. Created between 1876 and 1924, the artwork showcases two bands of stylized leaf motifs, likely a design study for decorative arts. The simple yet expressive lines suggest Dijsselhof's interest in Art Nouveau, a style popular during this period, emphasizing organic forms and natural imagery. The sketch, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the artist's creative process and the evolution of decorative design in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
