Twee ornamenten met dieren 1876 - 1924

"Twee ornamenten met dieren" (Two Ornaments with Animals) is a work by Dutch artist Gerrit Willem Dijsselhof, created between 1876 and 1924. The woodblock print, now held in the Rijksmuseum, depicts two stylized scenes. The upper scene features a rooster among stylized foliage, while the lower scene shows a man and a cow in a stall, repeated three times. Dijsselhof's work often depicted rural life, reflecting his interest in the traditional arts and crafts of his time. This print exemplifies his use of simple lines and geometric forms, highlighting the beauty of everyday life and the natural world.
