Ontwerp voor een sieraad 1874 - 1932

This is a pencil drawing of a design for a piece of jewelry by Dutch architect Mathieu Lauweriks. Dated between 1874 and 1932, the drawing appears to be a study for a brooch, its organic shape resembling a seashell. The drawing itself is a quick sketch on lined paper and appears to be a preliminary design for a jewelry piece. Lauweriks was a prominent architect and designer known for his Art Nouveau-inspired work, and this design likely reflects his interest in natural forms and decorative elements.
