Created in 1904, the work reflects the artist's interest in geometric order and the spiritual dimensions of form, which were common concerns among practitioners of the Dutch Symbolist movement. The subject is depicted frontally, holding a single flower, a gesture that introduces a quiet, meditative quality to the composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe background is composed of fine, repetitive circular patterns that create a halo-like effect around the figure. This decorative treatment of space flattens the image, drawing the viewer's attention to the precise, delicate lines used to define the subject's features and clothing. Lauweriks employs a restrained palette, relying on the subtle interplay of light and shadow to model the form rather than bold colour. The inclusion of Greek-key motifs on the garment edges suggests an interest in classical geometry, a recurring theme in his broader design work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLauweriks was a significant figure in the development of modern Dutch design, often applying mathematical principles to his artistic output. This portrait demonstrates his ability to balance representational accuracy with a highly structured, almost architectural approach to composition. The work is mounted on a dark grey backing, which provides a neutral frame for the monochromatic drawing. It offers a glimpse into the intersection of portraiture and decorative theory at the turn of the twentieth century, where the artist sought to impose a sense of universal harmony upon the individual subject.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/what-are-flowers-saying-ferdinand-hodler\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eWhat are Flowers Saying? - Ferdinand Hodler — Ferdinand Hodler\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/la-belle-jardiniere-octobre-eugene-grasset\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eLa Belle Jardiniere – Octobre - Eugène Grasset — Eugène Grasset\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Mathieu Lauweriks","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58415762637135,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58415762702671,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58415762800975,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58415762833743,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58415762899279,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Portrait-of-Mary-Lemaire_Poster_CompositorV1_1786137855533.jpg?v=1786138083"},{"product_id":"broederketen-mathieu-lauweriks","title":"Broederketen - Mathieu Lauweriks","description":"\u003cp\u003eA woodcut print by Dutch designer Mathieu Lauweriks, featuring geometric motifs and stylised natural forms characteristic of his early twentieth-century aesthetic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMathieu Lauweriks was a Dutch architect, designer, and theorist who occupied a position within the development of early twentieth-century Dutch design. His work often reflects a preoccupation with geometric order and the synthesis of spiritual symbolism with decorative form. This woodcut, titled Broederketen, demonstrates his interest in the structural potential of the print medium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition is defined by a central circular motif containing a cluster of leaves, which are rendered with a focus on symmetry and balance. The surrounding space is populated by stylised heart-shaped forms and star-like symbols, creating a rhythmic arrangement that borders on the abstract. The use of a woodcut technique results in a tactile quality, where the grain of the block and the pressure of the press contribute to the visual texture of the ink on the paper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLauweriks was associated with the Theosophical movement, and his designs frequently incorporate motifs that suggest a search for universal harmony. The geometric precision seen here, particularly in the triangular border at the base and the star patterns, aligns with his broader theoretical work on the mathematical foundations of beauty. By reducing natural forms to their essential shapes, he creates a visual language that is both disciplined and expressive. This print offers a clear example of the transition from the organic fluidity of Art Nouveau towards the more structured, grid-based aesthetics that would later characterise the De Stijl movement. The choice of a muted, monochromatic palette ensures that the focus remains on the interplay of line, shape, and negative space, allowing the viewer to appreciate the deliberate construction of the image.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/poisson-et-algues-papier-peint-pigeon-et-pavots-bordure-de-vitrail-maurice-pillard-verneuil\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePoisson et Algues, Papier Peint \/ Pigeon et Pavots, Bordure de Vitrail - Maurice Pillard Verneuil — Maurice Pillard Verneuil\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/dents-du-midi-in-clouds-ferdinand-hodler\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eDents du Midi in Clouds - Ferdinand Hodler — Ferdinand Hodler\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Mathieu Lauweriks","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58416140812623,"sku":null,"price":37.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58416145793359,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58416145826127,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58416145858895,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58416145891663,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58416145924431,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58416145957199,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58416145989967,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58416146022735,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58416146055503,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58416146088271,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Broederketen_Poster_CompositorV1_1786141961764.jpg?v=1786142212"},{"product_id":"uitgeversvignet-van-duwaer-van-ginkel-mathieu-lauweriks","title":"Uitgeversvignet van Duwaer \u0026 Van Ginkel - Mathieu Lauweriks","description":"\u003cp\u003eA refined woodcut publisher's device by Dutch designer Mathieu Lauweriks, featuring symbolic imagery and stylised organic borders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis woodcut by Mathieu Lauweriks serves as a publisher's device for the Amsterdam firm Duwaer \u0026amp; Van Ginkel.

The composition features a central male figure holding a banner inscribed with the Greek letters Alpha and Omega, symbols representing the beginning and the end.

Lauweriks avoids naturalistic shading, opting instead for a graphic, flattened approach that prioritises the structural integrity of the image. The work demonstrates his ability to integrate typography and illustration into a cohesive unit, a skill that would later inform his contributions to theosophical design and architectural theory. The rough edges of the paper and the handwritten annotations provide a glimpse into the artist's process, showing this as a working proof or an early edition.
