Ornamenten met papegaaien 1874 - 1945

"Ornamenten met papegaaien" is a pencil drawing on graph paper created by Carel Adolph Lion Cachet between 1874 and 1945. The artwork, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, features several sketches of intricate decorative elements, possibly for a larger project, that include the recurring motif of parrots. This preliminary design demonstrates Cachet's meticulous approach to ornamentation and his interest in combining natural and architectural forms. The use of graph paper highlights his focus on precision and the calculated construction of his designs.
