This design for a stained glass window, titled "De trap des levens" (The Stairway of Life), was created by Richard Nicolaüs Roland Holst in 1922. The artwork, held at the Rijksmuseum, depicts a man carrying a basket of apples, a symbol of abundance. The design uses bold, geometric shapes and vibrant colors reminiscent of the Art Nouveau style, with a stylized, almost abstract representation of the man's figure. The design evokes a sense of spiritual journey and the passage of time, making it an intriguing example of Dutch stained glass design from the early 20th century.
