Ontwerpen voor een bord met kroon en monogram 1874 - 1945

This watercolor design by Carel Adolph Lion Cachet, dated between 1874 and 1945, features three different iterations of a monogram. The most fully realized design is a circular emblem featuring the letters "A" and "C" intertwined and topped with a crown. The letters are set against a black background with gold accents, and surrounded by red and gold embellishments. These design sketches highlight the creative process of a heraldic artist in the 19th and 20th centuries. They are a great example of decorative design for a crest, a shield or a coat of arms. The design is currently on display at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
