Stoelbekleding van gebatikte zijde, met een bloemenpatroon in geel en bruin c. 1910

This batik textile, created by Dutch artist Theo Nieuwenhuis around 1910, features a striking geometric pattern in shades of yellow and brown. The central design showcases a delicate floral motif, while the border boasts a more intricate, repeating geometric pattern. The piece exemplifies the Art Nouveau style, popular during this era, with its emphasis on organic shapes and intricate patterns. This textile, now in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Nieuwenhuis's mastery of batik, a traditional Indonesian technique involving wax and dye.
