Figuurstudies c. 1935 - 1940

"Figuurstudies" is a study in quick gestural lines made by Dutch artist Carel Adolph Lion Cachet, a prominent figure painter. Created between 1935 and 1940, this drawing showcases Cachet's ability to capture the essence of his subjects with rapid, expressive strokes. The work is characterized by its loose, almost spontaneous lines that convey a sense of movement and energy. The composition features a central figure, possibly a seated woman, surrounded by smaller figures. The artwork highlights the artist's mastery of line and form, serving as a testament to his dynamic and expressive style. This quick sketch is housed in the Rijksmuseum, providing valuable insights into Cachet's creative process and his artistic approach to the human figure.
