Ontwerp voor wapenschild voor Barnaert of Oem van Wijngaarden 1874 - 1945

Carel Adolph Lion Cachet made this design for a coat-of-arms with pencil and brush. I see how the process unfolds—a heraldic shield emerges, surrounded by swirling foliage, a bird of prey perched atop. It’s like watching a thought take form, a symbol being carefully constructed. You can see the artist figuring things out on the left, where there are sketches of lions and shapes, attempts at capturing just the right heraldic beast, the perfect symbolic flourish. I feel for the artist here, envisioning them trying out different elements, each stroke a quest for meaning. The stark black ink against the light paper creates a striking contrast; each element is clearly defined yet full of movement. It's a study, yet it's charged with intention. Lion Cachet is not just designing; he’s in conversation with history, reimagining tradition. It’s a constant exchange across time, where one idea sparks another, and creativity evolves through dialogue.
