Ornamenten met bladeren c. 1905 - 1906

This pencil sketch by Carel Adolph Lion Cachet, titled "Ornamenten met bladeren" (Ornaments with leaves), is a study for decorative designs. Dating from around 1905-1906, the work features a series of leaf motifs drawn in a simple and delicate style. The sketch's repetitive patterns suggest a design for tiles, textiles, or other decorative applications. The piece, currently in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the artistic exploration of Art Nouveau influences in the early 20th century. The intricate details and elegant lines of these designs reflect a desire for both beauty and functionality.
