"Bomen en twee jongens" (Trees and two boys) is a c. 1930s pencil sketch by Dutch artist Carel Adolph Lion Cachet (1864-1945). The work, currently in the Rijksmuseum, is a study of a landscape with two figures. Cachet, known for his expressive style, uses loose, gestural lines to depict the scene, highlighting the energy of the moment. The quick strokes and sketch-like quality suggest a spontaneous observation, capturing the essence of the subject rather than precise detail.
