Studies van handen en ogen 1874 - 1945

Carel Adolph Lion Cachet's "Studies van handen en ogen" is a collection of anatomical sketches focusing on hands and eyes. The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is comprised of multiple studies, created between 1874 and 1945. This drawing, rendered in pencil on paper, demonstrates the artist's interest in human anatomy and his mastery of line and form. The composition highlights the expressive qualities of the human form, suggesting Cachet's exploration of gesture and movement. The fragmented nature of the sketches emphasizes the focus on specific anatomical details, which are rendered with precision and sensitivity.
