Architectuurstudie c. 1890

"Architectuurstudie" is a c. 1890 architectural sketch by Dutch artist Carel Adolph Lion Cachet. This drawing, held in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Cachet's exploration of architectural form through a series of overlapping, circular, and linear lines, creating a sense of depth and dynamism. The rough, expressive lines suggest a preliminary study, capturing the artist's initial ideas and observations about the subject. This sketch offers a glimpse into Cachet's artistic process and his interest in the interplay of form and space.
