Twee ex libris van M.R. Radermacher Schorer 1924

Richard Nicolaüs Roland Holst's "Twee ex libris van M.R. Radermacher Schorer" (1924) is a pair of bookplates, each featuring a stylized portrait of a woman holding a hand to her face. The bookplates, with their intricate borders and strong black lines, exemplify the artist's graphic style, rooted in Art Nouveau and Symbolism. Roland Holst, a prominent Dutch artist and writer, was known for his artistic versatility, spanning painting, sculpture, and book design. This pair of bookplates, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, illustrates his talent for capturing expressive detail and visual impact in a small format.
