A chariot driver in green toga drives four white horses at full gallop across an orange field. The composition depicts athletic power through bold modernist design.

Jan Willem Sluiter designed this poster for the 1916 Amsterdam Olympics, national games organised when the Berlin Olympics were cancelled due to World War I. The Netherlands held these competitions to maintain Olympic spirit during wartime, with events across Amsterdam from 31 August to 3 September.

Sluiter was a master of Dutch graphic design, known for political cartoons and poster work that balanced dynamism with clarity. His use of flat colours and simplified forms created heroic imagery that remained approachable, reflecting both athletic achievement and national determination.

This archival print appeals to collectors of Olympic memorabilia, sports historians, and admirers of early 20th-century Dutch modernist design. The poster represents a unique moment when sport transcended global conflict.
