Fles wijn en twee glazen 1884 - 1952

"Fles wijn en twee glazen" (Bottle of Wine and Two Glasses), a small woodcut print by Reinier Willem Petrus de Vries, is a simple yet evocative image. Created between 1884 and 1952, it depicts a bottle of wine flanked by two glasses. De Vries's work often explored everyday objects and scenes, capturing the essence of Dutch life. The print's minimalist style, with its black-and-white design, emphasizes the starkness of the composition and the symbolism of the wine, representing celebration, conviviality, and the enjoyment of life's simple pleasures.
