Menukaart Château de Haarzuijlens 1896

This menu card for Château de Haarzuijlens was designed by Dutch artist Mathieu Lauweriks in 1896. The design features a decorative frame with a stylized Art Nouveau flourish, a style popular at the turn of the 20th century. The blue and white color scheme evokes a sense of elegance and sophistication. Lauweriks was a prominent figure in the Dutch Arts and Crafts movement and his work is characterized by its use of natural forms and organic motifs, evident in the swirling lines of the design. Lauweriks's artistic vision was intended to elevate the everyday, transforming even a simple menu card into a work of art.
