Meisje in schoolbank 1874 - 1945

"Meisje in schoolbank" (Girl in school bench), a 19th-century drawing by Carel Adolph Lion Cachet, depicts a young girl seated at a school desk, engaged in her studies. The artist's dynamic lines and expressive shading capture the girl's youthful energy and focus. The simple composition and the use of black and white creates a sense of intimacy and realism. This piece, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the life of a young student in a bygone era.
