Fazanten; voorstudie voor een wandbespanning 1895 - 1896

"Fazanten; voorstudie voor een wandbespanning" (1895-1896) by Gerrit Willem Dijsselhof (1866-1924) is a preparatory study for a wall panel. The design features two stylized peacocks, their plumage rendered in black, white, and red, against a light gray background. The peacocks are framed by an intricate pattern of stylized leaves and vines, creating a symmetrical and decorative composition. This artwork demonstrates Dijsselhof's talent for creating decorative designs that combine nature with stylized elements. The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases the artist's interest in Art Nouveau and his approach to decorative art, evident in his use of flowing lines and organic forms.
