Project for a lamp. Watercolour, gouache.

Scanned from the book "Jugendstil" by Gabriele Fahr-Becker.

From the book:

"The famous Peacock lamp was a true sensation at the Salon National des Beaux-Arts exposition. It's a magnificent example of symbolism in Art Nouveau, but at the same time its concept contradicts every law of functionality."

Philippe Wolfers, 1858–1929.
