In pencil, coloured chalk, and black brushwork, Richard Nicolaüs Roland Holst made this design in 1923 for a stained-glass window in Utrecht’s Hoofdpostkantoor, the monumental post and telegraph office on the Neude. The building, designed by Joseph Crouwel Jr. and constructed between 1919 and 1924, was conceived as a richly decorated public interior in the Amsterdam School style.
