Decoratief ontwerp met leeuwen 1874 - 1945

"Decoratief ontwerp met leeuwen," a design for a decorative panel, was created between 1874 and 1945 by Dutch artist Carel Adolph Lion Cachet. The design features a gridded background with swirling, organic plant forms. The central motif, a large leaf, is framed by six lions in various poses, creating a dynamic and stylized composition. Cachet's intricate drawing, which uses graphite and watercolor, embodies the Art Nouveau style popular during this time. The work highlights the movement's love for natural forms and its exploration of decorative design. "Decoratief ontwerp met leeuwen" is currently held in the Rijksmuseum, showcasing Cachet's talent and his contribution to the Netherlands' artistic heritage.
