"Ontwerp voor een broche" (Design for a Brooch) is a pencil drawing on paper by Dutch architect and designer Mathieu Lauweriks. Dated March 9, 1914, this design sketch depicts a brooch featuring a central oval stone surrounded by a stylized organic form reminiscent of a flower. Lauweriks, known for his contributions to the Dutch Arts and Crafts movement, employed a grid system to ensure precision and proportion in this design. This meticulous approach is characteristic of his work and highlights the importance of craftsmanship in his artistic practice.
