Art Nouveau Ex Libris Commission

With much pleasure, I designed this Ex Libris or book-plate in Art Nouveau or Jugendstil style. I consulted art books that I had almost forgotten about and I enjoyed refreshing my knowledge of the Art Nouveau movement. I decided to draw a tree, a window for (your) name, hills, a stream, and of course some embellishments.

More Ex Lirbis designs are at Etsy.

Freehand-drawings & Commissions. Art is often seen as a luxury but when it comes to joyful, memorable, sad, or important events in our lives, we are in need for art. Contact me for discussing commissioned art with me. I was taught drawing and painting by Spanish-Dutch artist Charito Crahay and Dutch artist Johan Kolman. I have studied Philosophy at the University of Utrecht & Amsterdam and currently I live with my husband and daughter in the Netherlands. View all posts by Paula Kuitenbrouwer
