Monogram en vignet met masker 1895 - 1896

"Monogram en vignet met masker" (1895-1896) by Dutch architect and designer Mathieu Lauweriks is a striking example of Art Nouveau. The design features a decorative monogram incorporating the artist's initials within a stylized circular frame. The monogram is accompanied by a vignette, a detailed drawing of a masked face, highlighting Lauweriks' interest in combining geometric forms with organic elements. The artwork demonstrates the elegance and dynamism characteristic of Art Nouveau, a style that gained popularity in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
