Bandontwerp voor: Ina Boudier-Bakker, Machten, 1902 1903

This artwork, a band design for the book *Machten*, by Dutch artist Reinier Willem Petrus de Vries, is a pencil drawing created in 1903. The design features three distinct motifs arranged in a grid pattern: a stylized butterfly, a cross, and a circle. The geometric simplicity of the design highlights the artist’s interest in Art Nouveau style, a movement prevalent in the early 20th century. This design, meant for the book's cover, reflects the artistic ideals of the period, emphasizing decorative patterns and stylized organic forms.
