Nieuwenhuis was a versatile decorative artist who designed furniture, carpets, wall coverings, and earthenware. In 1894 he drew wallpaper designs in three different patterns.

It was printed on sheets measuring approximately 60 x 80 centimetres that had to be carefully matched up by the paperhanger.
