Blad met schaakbordpatroon 1790 - 1839

"Blad met schaakbordpatroon" (Leaf with chessboard pattern) is a design for a textile, created between 1790 and 1839 by Johann Lechner. The artwork, housed in the Rijksmuseum, features a repeating pattern of small squares, reminiscent of a chessboard. The design is executed in shades of brown and white, creating a subtle but eye-catching visual effect. Lechner's work, including this design, provides insight into the textile patterns popular during the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
