Boeket 1874 - 1945

"Boeket" is a design for a floral pattern, created in a unique style by Carel Adolph Lion Cachet between 1874 and 1945. The piece, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a small-scale work, measuring just 295 mm in height and 413 mm in width. The design depicts a stylized bouquet of white flowers against a gray background, executed in a loose, almost gestural style. It exemplifies Cachet’s interest in patterns and design, showcasing his ability to capture the essence of nature in an abstract and decorative manner.
