Julie de Graag (1877-1924) was a Dutch artist known for her contributions to the Art Nouveau and Symbolist movements. She primarily worked as an illustrator and graphic designer, creating intricate and ornate images characterized by delicate lines and a strong sense of symbolism. Her art often featured themes of fantasy, nature, and the mystical, and she was associated with the Dutch Nieuwe Kunst (New Art) movement. De Graag's work is admired for its ethereal and dreamlike qualities.
