"Cirkel in een cirkel" is a simple yet striking sketch by Carel Adolph Lion Cachet, dating back to 1897-1898. The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, features two geometric forms: a circle within a circle, and a truncated cone shape. The simplicity of the drawing allows for a focus on the interplay of lines and shapes, showcasing Cachet's keen eye for composition and form. The precise lines suggest a meticulous approach to the subject matter, characteristic of his work in the late 19th century.
