Ornamentaal ontwerp met leeuwen 1874 - 1945

This design for an ornamental panel by Carel Adolph Lion Cachet, created between 1874 and 1945, is a striking example of the artist’s use of stylized animal forms. The artwork, now in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a central rectangular space framed by a border featuring four stylized lions in a decorative, almost Art Nouveau-inspired style. The design's graphic nature is heightened by the use of black and white washes against a gridded background, suggesting its intended application for a larger, more complex work.
