Knoppen van een paardenkastanje 1918

"Knoppen van een paardenkastanje" is a woodcut by Dutch artist Julie de Graag, created in 1918. De Graag, known for her depictions of plants and flowers, uses bold, geometric lines and a stark color palette to emphasize the form of horse chestnut buds. The contrasting colors and the flatness of the design are characteristic of Art Nouveau, a style that thrived in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. De Graag's precise, detailed woodcut style was popular in the Netherlands at the time, and her work is now held in notable collections, including the Rijksmuseum.
