Decoratief ontwerp 1874 - 1945

Carel Adolph Lion Cachet's "Decoratief ontwerp" is a pencil drawing on graph paper, created between 1874 and 1945. The design features a symmetrical, intricate pattern of stylized leaves and swirling, overlapping circles, reminiscent of Art Nouveau motifs. This decorative design, likely intended for a decorative object or textile, is a testament to the artist's keen eye for detail and rhythmic composition. The design's graphic quality, accentuated by the gridded paper, makes it a prime example of decorative art from the late 19th and early 20th century. The piece is currently in the collection of the Rijksmuseum.
