Vignet met bosviolen 1876 - 1924

"Vignet met bosviolen" (Vignet with wood violets) is a design by Gerrit Willem Dijsselhof, a Dutch artist known for his decorative work. Created between 1876 and 1924, the piece is a striking example of Art Nouveau style, featuring stylized floral motifs, particularly wood violets, rendered in black and green against a cream background. The intricate details and elegant, flowing lines are characteristic of Dijsselhof's work, highlighting the artistic movement's embrace of natural forms and decorative beauty. This design, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, is likely intended for decorative purposes, perhaps for book illustration or textile design.
