Louise Wilhelmina van der Meulen-Nulle

Louise Wilhelmina van der Meulen-Nulle was an artist specializing in textile design and patterns, with professional activity documented around 1912. While comprehensive biographical dates are not currently available, her work in the applied arts is recognized through institutional holdings in the Netherlands.

Her practice concentrated specifically on Kantpatroon (lace patterns). The Rijksmuseum holds nine documented textile designs attributed to her, confirming the museum-quality of her technical output. All these represented works detail elaborate botanical themes suitable for bobbin lace. The designs are consistently titled Kantpatroon voor een kleed van kloskant met goudenregentakken en -bloemen (Lace pattern for a cloth of bobbin lace with laburnum branches and flowers), reflecting a specialization in highly detailed, nature-based imagery for craft application.

Though data on Louise Wilhelmina van der Meulen-Nulle paintings or fine art output is sparse, her surviving lace pattern designs demonstrate the high-quality draftsmanship required for complex textile production. Her work, held permanently in major collections, contributes valuable primary source material for the study of early 20th-century decorative arts. These historical patterns are sometimes made available as downloadable artwork for research and study purposes.
