Groep mannen om een tafel 1874 - 1945

Carel Adolph Lion Cachet’s “Groep mannen om een tafel” (Group of men around a table), a watercolor on paper, depicts a group of men gathered around a table in a dimly lit setting. The figures are loosely rendered, with focus on the interplay of light and shadow. This sketch, housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Cachet’s ability to capture the essence of a scene with a few deft strokes. The work reflects a style common in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, emphasizing impressionistic elements. The artwork, dated between 1874 and 1945, likely portrays a moment of casual conversation or camaraderie amongst the men.
