Drie lezende figuren 1896

"Drie lezende figuren" (Three Reading Figures) is a pencil drawing by Dutch artist Carel Adolph Lion Cachet, created in 1896. The artwork depicts three figures, likely women, seated and reading, perhaps in a library or a similar setting. Cachet's sketch captures a fleeting moment of quiet concentration, with subtle lines outlining the figures and their surroundings. The work's simplicity and focus on the act of reading make it a poignant portrayal of daily life, and it is a testament to Cachet's ability to convey emotion and atmosphere with minimal detail. The artwork is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
