Ontwerp voor boekband voor Oranje gedenkboek 1874 - 1945

This design for a book cover by Carel Adolph Lion Cachet, dating from 1874 to 1945, is a study in intricate detail and geometric patterns. The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, features a gold background with a delicate, almost lace-like, design in white. The design appears to be inspired by Islamic art, with its use of repeating motifs and symmetrical patterns, and reflects a growing interest in non-European art during this period. The design is likely for a commemorative book about the Dutch royal family, or "Oranje," as indicated by the title. This sketch showcases Cachet's mastery of line and his ability to create a sense of depth and dimension within a relatively small format.
