This 1916 architectural drawing in pencil and coloured brushwork/watercolour shows part of the proposed front elevation for the Emmakliniek in Utrecht. The Emmakliniek, near Wilhelminapark, was a private hospital founded by Dr J.W.Th. Lichtenbelt; its new building opened in 1916, contemporary accounts describe the intention that the building should feel less like a conventional hospital and more like a hotel or large boarding house, with a carefully designed interior and modern facilities for the period. The building was demolished in 1979 after a fire.

This 1879 drawing in black pen and coloured brushwork/watercolour shows an unbuilt proposal for the interior of the southern bastion of Utrecht’s former Vredenburg Castle, restored and adapted as a market space. Vredenburg was not a romantic castle, but a sixteenth-century fortress built on the orders of Charles V to control the city after Utrecht came under Habsburg rule. The castle was largely demolished after the Dutch Revolt, but its remains continued to shape the Vredenburg area for centuries.

Richard Nicolaüs Roland Holst made this design for the south transept window of the Dom Church in Utrecht. The window became the Evangelistenraam, the large stained-glass window showing the four Evangelists of the New Testament: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Made in chalk and black brushwork on paper and cardboard, the design belongs to the wider restoration and renewal of the Dom Church, which began in 1921 under architect D.F. Slothouwer. The glass was made by the Bogtman workshop in Haarlem, and the completed window was unveiled in 1926.

Richard Nicolaüs Roland Holst made this geometric study for a stained-glass window in the north transept of the Dom Church in Utrecht. The work in black pen and brush with pencil on cardboard relates to the broader design process for the Profetenraam, the large north-transept window placed in 1936, which formed a pair with his earlier Evangelistenraam in the south transept. Although this study is far more abstract than the finished window, it shows the working out of structure, rhythm, ornament, and architectural fit before the final image is translated into glass.

Richard Nicolaüs Roland Holst's 1924 design for a stained-glass window in Utrecht’s Hoofdpostkantoor, the monumental post office on the Neude. The building itself was completed in the same year and was designed by Joseph Crouwel Jr. in the Amsterdam School style; its decorative programme included sculpture, ornament, and stained glass as part of a richly designed public interior. This design, in pencil, coloured chalk, pastel, and black brushwork on cardboard shows Mercury, the classical messenger god, moving over the earth through day, night, morning, and evening.

Richard Nicolaüs Roland Holst was a Dutch artist, designer, and draftsman associated with monumental and decorative art. This design belongs to his work for the Dom Church in Utrecht, where a major restoration began in 1921 under architect D.F. Slothouwer. As part of that renewal of the church interior, Roland Holst was asked to design large stained-glass windows for the transepts. This design drawing was made around 1934 in chalk and black brushwork on cardboard. It relates to the Old Testament Prophets window for the north transept, placed in 1936.

This early twentieth-century postcard shows the Dom Tower in Utrecht, with scaffolding visible against the church exterior. The Rijksmuseum identifies the work as an anonymous postcard made in Utrecht in 1907, printed and published by Trenkler & Co. in Leipzig. Its technique combines autotype with colour lithography, a photomechanical process that gives the image the character of a printed historic postcard rather than a photographic print. The scaffolding visible in the image likely belongs to the long restoration that began in 1901 and continued into the early 1930s.
