Mandenmaker 1874 - 1945

"Mandenmaker," a charcoal drawing by Carel Adolph Lion Cachet, depicts a seated man in a cap, likely a basket maker, working on a basket. Created between 1874 and 1945, the artwork is a study of form and light, captured through the artist's expressive strokes. The composition is simple yet captivating, focusing on the man's focused pose and the intricate details of the basket-weaving process. Now housed in the Rijksmuseum, this drawing offers a glimpse into the life of a Dutch artisan.
