Kinderen in de schoolbank 1874 - 1945

"Kinderen in de schoolbank" (Children in the school bench), a charcoal drawing created between 1874 and 1945 by Dutch artist Carel Adolph Lion Cachet, depicts a poignant scene of three children seated at their desks. The composition focuses on the central figure, a young boy with a thoughtful expression, capturing the innocence and vulnerability of childhood. This piece, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Cachet's ability to render realistic details and convey the quiet intimacy of everyday life.
