This lithograph depicts a winged female figure, a motif frequently employed by the artist to represent spiritual or allegorical concepts. The figure is framed by an ouroboros, the ancient symbol of a serpent or dragon eating its own tail, which signifies the cyclical nature of existence and the unity of all things.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition is highly stylised, reflecting the influence of the Arts and Crafts movement and the geometric rigour that defined De Bazel's architectural practice. The figure stands in a frontal, hieratic pose, reminiscent of Egyptian art or early religious icons. Her wings are rendered with a decorative, rhythmic quality, creating a sense of balance and order within the frame. The use of bold, clean lines and a restricted monochrome palette focuses the viewer's attention on the symbolic geometry of the subject.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDe Bazel was deeply involved in the Theosophical Society, and his artistic output often functioned as a visual language for his philosophical inquiries. The inclusion of the sword at the base of the figure, alongside the circular form of the ouroboros, suggests a narrative of duality, combining the active force of the blade with the eternal, passive cycle of the serpent. This print demonstrates the artist's ability to synthesise complex metaphysical ideas into a clear, graphic form. It is a characteristic example of the Dutch Symbolist aesthetic, where clarity of line meets a preoccupation with universal truths and spiritual archetypes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/arbeider-bij-een-vuur-richard-nicolaus-roland-holst\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eArbeider bij een vuur - Richard Nicolaüs Roland Holst — Richard Nicolaüs Roland Holst\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/and-there-fell-a-great-star-from-heaven-burning-as-it-were-a-lamp-odilon-redon-1\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eAnd there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp - Odilon Redon — Odilon Redon\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Karel Petrus Cornelis de Bazel","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58443665080655,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58443669864783,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58443669897551,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58443669930319,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58443669963087,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58443669995855,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58443670028623,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58443670061391,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58443670094159,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58443670126927,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58443670159695,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58443670192463,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Gevleugelde-vrouw-met-ouroboros-om-haar-hoofd_Poster_CompositorV1_1786238411037.jpg?v=1786418368","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/gevleugelde-vrouw-met-ouroboros-om-haar-hoofd-karel-petrus-cornelis-de-bazel","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
