Bloemornamenten 1884 - 1952

Reinier Willem Petrus de Vries's "Bloemornamenten" is a pencil drawing featuring intricate floral designs. Composed of three corner motifs, the piece utilizes delicate lines to create flowing, organic shapes. These motifs are likely studies for a larger decorative design, perhaps for textiles or bookbinding. The small scale of the work suggests its use as a preliminary sketch, reflecting the artist's attention to detail and his exploration of form and pattern. The title "Bloemornamenten," meaning "floral ornaments," reinforces the focus on intricate botanical details.
