Ex libris van Paul Schelfhout 1943

"Ex libris van Paul Schelfhout" is a bookplate, a small design created by Lodewijk Schelfhout in 1943 for his brother Paul. It features a coat of arms, complete with a crest and decorative flourishes, in the style of traditional heraldic designs. The inscription "Paul Schelfhout" identifies the owner, while the elaborate border and the stylized "Ex libris" text above the coat of arms contribute to the bookplate's formal aesthetic. This artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases a unique family connection and exemplifies the artistic talent of Lodewijk Schelfhout.
