Anatole-Alexis Fournier's "Vijf segmenten van een met irissen beschilderde knop" from c. 1897 showcases the artist's interest in Art Nouveau style. The artwork features a stylized design of five irises, with delicate lines and a muted color palette. The floral motif, a defining characteristic of Art Nouveau, is presented as a repeating pattern, hinting at its potential use in decorative arts or textile design. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricate rendering of the irises and their leaves. The artwork, with its graceful lines and botanical theme, exemplifies the Art Nouveau movement's appreciation for nature and organic forms.
