In the first half of the 1890s Dijsselhof experimented with drawings done in Indian ink and watercolour on large sheets of paper. He incorporated these drawings in the wood panelling that he designed for interiors. He took abstraction furthest in Orchids; flowers can
just barely be made out amid a whirlwind of forms
and colours.
