Vignet 'Vogelkop' 1896

"Vignet 'Vogelkop'" (1896) is a small woodcut by Dutch artist Karel Petrus Cornelis de Bazel (1869-1923) that depicts an intricate, stylized design. The motif features an undulating, organic form with repeating elements, reminiscent of Art Nouveau, a style prevalent at the turn of the 20th century. De Bazel's use of black ink on a light paper background creates a strong visual contrast, highlighting the intricate details of the design. The overall effect is one of graceful, flowing movement, characteristic of the Art Nouveau aesthetic.
