Decoratief kader met de spreuk 'bitter in den mond maakt het hart gezond' 1884 - 1952

Reinier Willem Petrus de Vries' "Decoratief kader met de spreuk 'bitter in den mond maakt het hart gezond'" is a design for a decorative tile border created between 1884 and 1952. The design features geometric patterns of blue and gold triangles and squares along with the Dutch saying "Bitter in the mouth makes the heart healthy". The work showcases the artist's talent for combining traditional Dutch decorative styles with a modern sensibility. The use of gridded paper suggests the design was intended for practical use, likely for ceramic tiles or other architectural elements.
