Handen en een gezicht c. 1897 - 1898

This pencil sketch titled "Handen en een gezicht" by Carel Adolph Lion Cachet is an example of a quick study or gesture drawing. The artist, known for his landscapes and portraits, created this work in the late 19th century, capturing the essence of hands and a face with loose, expressive lines. The work is housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands. This type of drawing was a common practice for artists to warm up their hands, explore form, and develop their understanding of anatomy.
