Ontwerp voor een vaas 1874 - 1945

This design for a vase by Dutch artist Carel Adolph Lion Cachet, created between 1874 and 1945, features stylized animal figures arranged around a vase form. The bold black lines and simplified shapes are characteristic of Art Nouveau, a style that emphasized organic forms and decorative motifs. The design, housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies Cachet's interest in combining functional objects with artistic expression. This particular piece suggests a vase intended for decorative purposes, showcasing the intersection of art and design in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
