Vrouwen in jurken c. 1890

"Vrouwen in jurken" (Women in Dresses), a charcoal sketch by Carel Adolph Lion Cachet, circa 1890, is a study of two women seated, possibly in a domestic setting. This quick sketch, housed in the Rijksmuseum, captures the essence of the figures through loose yet expressive lines, highlighting the artist's keen observation of human form and movement. The casual, gestural nature of the drawing hints at a focus on capturing fleeting moments, characteristic of Cachet's style during this period.
