Ornament met vlinder 1884 - 1952

"Ornament met vlinder" (Ornament with Butterfly), created between 1884 and 1952 by Dutch artist Reinier Willem Petrus de Vries, is a striking example of Art Nouveau design. The artwork features a stylized butterfly with intricate details, surrounded by elaborate floral motifs and geometric patterns. The bold, black-and-white design emphasizes the graphic nature of the piece and showcases the artist's mastery of line and form. The title "versieringskunst," which translates to "decorative art," highlights the central theme of the work.
