Design for a Silver Cup

Mathieu Lauweriks, 1913-11-22

This design features a side view and the rolled-out side of a silver cup decorated with four wave motifs composed of lines. Zooming in on the drawing, you can clearly see that the lines are not as smooth as they appear from a distance. Lauweriks placed dots at various points in the grid and then connected them with a line.
