Papegaai 1874 - 1945

"Papegaai" (Parrot), a graphite drawing by Carel Adolph Lion Cachet (1864-1945), is a striking study of a parrot. The artist captures the bird's unique features with delicate yet expressive lines, highlighting its prominent beak and eye. The subtle shading adds depth and volume to the parrot's form, creating a sense of realism. The simplicity of the composition and the soft, almost ethereal quality of the lines give the work a sense of intimacy and charm. Now housed in the Rijksmuseum, this drawing offers a glimpse into Cachet's talent for capturing the beauty of the natural world through his art.
