Blad met schaakbordpatroon 1783 - 1815

"Blad met schaakbordpatroon" (Leaf with chessboard pattern), a work on paper by Dutch artist Paul Reimund (1764-1815), is a study of a chessboard-like pattern. Created between 1783 and 1815, it is a prime example of Reimund's exploration of geometric forms and patterns, a significant theme in his work. The piece, which is currently in the Rijksmuseum, features a grid of tiny squares, alternating between gold and light brown, creating an optical illusion of depth and movement. The artwork measures 297 x 352 mm, showcasing a precise and delicate execution.
