"Man die een voorwerp vasthoudt en bestudeert," a c. 1930 sketch by Carel Adolph Lion Cachet, portrays a figure viewed from behind, meticulously studying an object. The minimalist, gestural lines, typical of Cachet's style, emphasize the subject's intense focus and the quiet intimacy of the scene. The work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Cachet's adeptness at capturing human interaction with the world through subtle yet expressive drawings.
