Zittende vrouw en figuurstudies 1896

"Zittende vrouw en figuurstudies" (Sitting Woman and Figure Studies) is a 1896 pencil sketch by Dutch artist Carel Adolph Lion Cachet, currently held in the Rijksmuseum. The sketch depicts a woman seated in a chair, with quick, gestural strokes outlining her figure and the surrounding space. Cachet's style, influenced by Impressionism, emphasizes capturing the essence of the subject through loose, expressive lines. This study, typical of his practice, reflects his interest in capturing fleeting moments and exploring the human form.
