This small woodcut by Dutch artist Reijer Stolk, created between 1906 and 1945, is an "ex libris," a bookplate designed to be pasted inside a book to indicate ownership. The geometric design, featuring stylized lettering and abstract forms, reflects the Art Deco style popular during the early 20th century. The composition includes the name "J. van der Ager," the book's owner, suggesting a personal connection to the piece and its intended use. Now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, this artwork exemplifies the graphic style of the period.
