Ontwerpen voor een monument met bank en het wapen van Haarlem 1874 - 1945

This pencil drawing by Carel Adolph Lion Cachet is a design for a monument featuring a bench and the coat of arms of Haarlem. Created between 1874 and 1945, the artwork depicts two lampposts, one with a more ornate design, alongside elements like a shield with a crest and the letters "HUM," potentially representing "Haarlem." The intricate detail of the drawings suggests a focus on craftsmanship and a desire to capture the essence of Haarlem through symbolic elements. These preliminary sketches demonstrate Cachet's process of design, revealing his attention to detail and the importance of incorporating local history in his public art. This drawing currently resides in the Rijksmuseum, providing valuable insight into the artistic practices of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
