Ontwerp voor het interieur van een deksalon met open balustrade 1874 - 1945

Carel Adolph Lion Cachet made this design for the interior of a deck saloon using pen in gray ink and brush in gray and brown. I see the artist figuring out the composition, moving the camera around, like a film director or set designer. This drawing is soft and the perspective is slightly off, but it has a cool atmosphere. There is something so beautiful and melancholic about interiors. I always think about Edward Hopper's paintings, but also about the amazing interiors by Vilhelm Hammershoi and how the light falls in his paintings. There is a related sense of calm here, too. Drawing is like thinking, and I bet the artist felt the calmness as they were making this. It’s a subtle image, but it’s really nice.
