This 1934 design for a stained-glass window by Dutch artist Richard Nicolaüs Roland Holst is a compelling example of his artistic style. Composed in muted shades of brown, the work depicts a hand reaching out from a background of geometric shapes and arches, suggestive of architectural elements. The stylized hand is the focal point, its lines and form emphasizing a sense of gesture and movement. Holst's design, intended for the Utrecht Dom Church, demonstrates his engagement with modern artistic trends while referencing traditional stained-glass techniques. The work is now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offering a glimpse into Holst's artistic vision and his innovative approach to sacred art.
