Persoon, schuin van achteren gezien 1874 - 1945

"Persoon, schuin van achteren gezien" is a charcoal drawing by Dutch artist Carel Adolph Lion Cachet, housed in the Rijksmuseum. The piece, created between 1874 and 1945, depicts a person from behind, with only their back and the back of their head visible. The drawing is characterized by loose, gestural lines and subtle shading, indicative of Cachet's signature style. The subject's form is partially obscured, creating a sense of mystery and intrigue. The composition is simple yet effective, showcasing Cachet's ability to capture human form with a masterful blend of realism and abstraction. This drawing is an excellent example of Cachet's skill in capturing the human form through expressive lines and subtle shading.
