Ontwerp vestibule 1e Classe, mozaïek, Mr. P.C. Hooft 1874 - 1945

This design for a mosaic by Carel Adolph Lion Cachet, dated 1874-1945, depicts intricate patterns for a vestibule in the Mr. P.C. Hooft house. The drawing features repeating symmetrical motifs of stylized foliage, likely inspired by Renaissance ornamentation. The design incorporates a prominent inscription within a circular frame, hinting at a classical theme. This drawing, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, offers insight into Cachet's artistic approach to decorative design and his fascination with historical aesthetics.
