Man die een krant leest c. 1930 - 1938

"Man die een krant leest" (Man Reading a Newspaper) is a drawing by Dutch artist Carel Adolph Lion Cachet, created between 1930 and 1938. The piece, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, depicts a man reading a newspaper, his face partially obscured by the paper. The drawing is characterized by a minimalist style, emphasizing the figure and its interaction with the newspaper. The newspaper's headline, "Zwitserland," provides a contextual clue, while the artist's signature quick strokes bring a sense of immediacy and energy to the scene.
