Carel Adolph Lion Cachet made this drawing of feet under a skirt with pencil on paper. It’s all about the line, isn’t it? A kind of delicate dance happening on the page. It’s so fleeting, you can almost feel the movement. Look at the feet, how they barely touch the ground. The skirt, suggested with just a few strokes, it gives you enough information to build a whole world around it. It feels like a glimpse, a moment captured on the fly. The ghost of another sketch hovers beneath, a shadow of an idea, maybe discarded, maybe waiting to be born. This piece reminds me of the drawings of Manet, simple on the surface but full of subtle nuance, capturing the everyday with an elegant hand. Art isn't always about answers, it’s about the questions we ask and the spaces in between.
