Kerkramen c. 1905 - 1906

"Kerkramen" is a pencil drawing created by Carel Adolph Lion Cachet between 1905 and 1906. This sketch, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts two designs for stained glass windows in a church setting. The left window is a simple, preliminary sketch with lines outlining the frame and the basic structure of the glass. The right window features a more detailed design, with intricate patterns and shapes, creating a visually rich and complex image. The drawing, a preparatory study for a larger artwork, reveals Cachet's meticulous approach to his craft. This intimate sketch provides a glimpse into the creative process of this Dutch artist, highlighting the preliminary stages involved in the creation of elaborate stained glass designs.
