Wall Panel with Orchids

Gerrit Willem Dijsselhof (1866-1924), pencil, brush and Indian ink and watercolour, c. 1892

In the first half of the 1890s Dijsselhof experimented with drawings done in Indian ink and watercolour on large sheets of paper. He incorporated these drawings in the wood panelling that he designed for interiors. He took abstraction furthest in Orchids; flowers can just barely be made out amid a whirlwind of forms and colours.
