Twee ontwerpen voor kleden voor de Java-China-Japan-Lijn 1874 - 1945

"Twee ontwerpen voor kleden voor de Java-China-Japan-Lijn" is a pair of drawings by Carel Adolph Lion Cachet, housed in the Rijksmuseum. Created between 1874 and 1945, the artwork features two designs for rugs intended for the Java-China-Japan Line, a Dutch shipping company. The designs showcase an intricate geometric pattern in the lower design and a more organic and fluid pattern in the upper design, with a central motif that evokes stylized birds. The use of light and dark gray tones contributes to the artwork's visual depth. The drawings represent a significant design element for the Java-China-Japan Line's interiors and offer insight into the artistic styles of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
