Portret van een oudere vrouw met een bril c. 1897 - 1898

This pencil sketch, titled "Portret van een oudere vrouw met een bril" ("Portrait of an Older Woman with Glasses"), was created by Dutch artist Carel Adolph Lion Cachet around 1897-1898. The artwork showcases Cachet's talent for capturing the essence of a subject through minimal lines. The sketch, likely a preliminary study for a larger work, focuses on the profile of an older woman, emphasizing her features and the subtle details of her attire. The sketch, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers insight into Cachet's working process and his interest in depicting the human form.
