Ontwerp voor vignet in het gedenkboek voor koningin Wilhelmina uit 1923: De Nederlandsche Bouwkunst 1874 - 1945

"Ontwerp voor vignet in het gedenkboek voor koningin Wilhelmina uit 1923: De Nederlandsche Bouwkunst" is a design for a vignette by Dutch artist Carel Adolph Lion Cachet (1864-1945) for a memorial book dedicated to Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands, published in 1923. This design showcases simplified, stylized depictions of lions, a recurring symbol in Dutch heraldry, and architecture. Cachet's distinctive use of black and white, reminiscent of woodcut illustrations, adds to the artwork's graphic quality. The stark contrast and simplified forms are characteristic of Art Nouveau, a popular style during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The design is currently part of the Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam.
