Studie van een blad en een takje 1874 - 1945

"Studie van een blad en een takje" (Study of a leaf and a twig) is a charcoal drawing on paper by Dutch artist Carel Adolph Lion Cachet. The work, now held in the Rijksmuseum, features several studies of plant life in different stages of development. The artist used bold, dark lines to depict the leaves and twigs, creating a striking contrast against the light background. The drawing exemplifies Cachet’s interest in natural forms and his skilled use of charcoal. This intimate study provides a glimpse into the artist's working process and his fascination with the details of nature.
