Vignetten met een anker, een hand en de ark van Noach 1894 - 1901

"Vignetten met een anker, een hand en de ark van Noach" (Vignettes with an anchor, a hand and Noah's Ark) is a design by Dutch artist Antoon Derkinderen, created between 1894 and 1901. The drawing depicts a series of decorative borders, each featuring a different symbol, such as an anchor, a hand, and a depiction of Noah's Ark. These symbolic motifs were likely intended for use in book illustrations, as they are typical of the Art Nouveau style, which was prevalent in the late 19th century. Derkinderen's work is characterized by its intricate line work and use of natural forms, as seen in the flowing, plant-like patterns that frame the central symbols.
