It is characteristic of Art Nouveau style and was likely created as a design for decorative arts like furniture, textiles, or ceramics. The design, executed on graph paper, highlights the geometric and precise nature of the design process. The artwork is held in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
