Jan Bosschaert (Belgian, b. 1957)

AKILON – European Community pin (1993)
Final pen-and-ink drawing, signed

Final pen-and-ink drawing by Jan Bosschaert, created in 1993 as the finished artwork for the AKILON pin commissioned for the European Community.

The drawing shows a stylised pin-up figure enclosed in a circular emblem with a star, executed in clean, confident line work. This is not a preliminary sketch, but the completed master drawing used as the reference for production of the enamel pin.

Jan Bosschaert is renowned for his pin-up illustrations, combining elegance, sensuality, and graphic clarity, and this work fits squarely within that celebrated aspect of his oeuvre.

The sheet is hand-signed by the artist.
