Ontwerp voor een oorkonde ter gelegenheid van twaalf en een half jaar trouwe dienst bij de Lijm- en Gelatinefabriek 1874 - 1945

This design for a diploma by Carel Adolph Lion Cachet, created between 1874 and 1945, is a striking example of Art Nouveau style. The intricate design features birds, stylized plants, and geometric shapes arranged in a symmetrical composition. The dark silhouette against a light background creates a dramatic contrast. The inscription in Dutch, which can be translated as "To you, the honor, you were for twelve and a half years, a true servant, receive our thanks on this happy day, a friendly salute, the director," further reveals the purpose of the artwork as a ceremonial certificate of recognition. This design, now in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the stylistic trends of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, characterized by flowing lines and organic forms.
