The artwork titled “Drafts for metal relief” was created by Koloman Moser in 1904. Executed with indian ink on paper, this piece embodies the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement and serves as a design draft. The dimensions of the artwork are 26.2 x 41.3 cm.
The artwork features a striking depiction of a woman gracefully enveloped in flowing, vertically lined drapery, forming intricate curves that enhance her dynamic posture. Her figure is elegantly framed within a leaf-like structure and is surrounded by an array of geometric patterns. These patterns consist of triangular shapes adorned with smaller motifs inside, contributing to the overall harmony and rhythm of the composition. Additionally, the upper right area of the artwork is marked with symbols aligning with Moser’s signature style, underlining the distinctive aesthetics of the Art Nouveau movement.
