Decoratief patroon 1896

"Decoratief patroon" is a pencil sketch on paper created by Carel Adolph Lion Cachet in 1896. It is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam. The artwork depicts a geometric design with a central motif of overlapping circles and lines. The sketch's rough and unfinished quality suggests it may be a preliminary study for a larger work. This is a typical characteristic of Art Nouveau style drawings that explored organic, flowing patterns. Cachet was a Dutch architect and designer known for his contributions to the Art Nouveau movement. The sketch is an intriguing example of the artist's exploration of decorative motifs and his interest in creating patterns for applied arts.
