Created for the National Exhibition of Women’s Labor in The Hague, this Art Nouveau design is a luminous homage to nature, craft, and quiet cooperation. Sunflowers tilt toward a woven hive at the center, lilies bloom at its base, and bees float in gentle arcs around the composition. Fokker’s stylized linework and warm, harmonious palette embody the era’s fascination with organic forms and symbolic storytelling, turning a simple beehive into an emblem of unity and purpose.
Beyond its graceful curves and botanical motifs, the piece also hints at the spirit of the exhibition it represented - an event meant to highlight and elevate women’s work at the turn of the century. Fokker weaves that theme subtly into the imagery: the industrious hive, the nurturing flowers, the sense of order and shared effort. The result is a quietly powerful illustration that blends beauty, meaning, and the natural world into a single, serene tableau.
