Ontwerp voor een vaas 1874 - 1945

"Ontwerp voor een vaas" is a design drawing by Dutch artist Carel Adolph Lion Cachet, created sometime between 1874 and 1945. The drawing, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a vase adorned with stylized, intertwined animal figures. The simplified, almost abstract forms suggest a decorative aesthetic, reminiscent of Art Nouveau design principles. This striking black-and-white sketch is a testament to Cachet's interest in blending natural motifs with geometric patterns. The piece serves as a compelling example of design work in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
