Wandbespanning 1911 - 1915

"Wandbespanning" (Wall Covering) is a textile design by Dutch artist Chris Lebeau, dating back to 1911-1915. This design, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, features a repeating pattern of stylized, geometric floral motifs, arranged in a vertical rhythm. The use of a neutral palette and intricate details exemplifies Lebeau's commitment to Art Nouveau principles, characteristic of the early 20th century. This piece would have originally been intended to adorn the walls of a home, reflecting the growing interest in decorative arts during this period.
