Spreekwoord in ornamentale omlijsting 1887 - 1924

This small-scale artwork by Dutch artist Julie de Graag, "Spreekwoord in ornamentale omlijsting" (Proverb in ornamental frame), is a striking example of Art Nouveau design. Created between 1887 and 1924, the piece features a delicate, intricate frame composed of stylized peacock feathers. The inscription within the frame, a Dutch proverb, further emphasizes the piece's focus on decorative design and cultural symbolism. This work highlights de Graag's mastery of line and detail, characteristic of the Art Nouveau style.
