Bloemstudie 1874 - 1945

"Bloemstudie" (Flower Study) is a charcoal drawing created between 1874 and 1945 by Dutch artist Carel Adolph Lion Cachet (1864-1945). The work, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a cluster of flowers with a bold, almost abstract composition. The dark background provides a stark contrast to the light, delicate petals, emphasizing their intricate structure and showcasing Cachet's mastery of light and shadow. The simplified form and limited color palette bring a sense of tranquility and introspection to the artwork.
