This expressive drawing, created by Dutch artist Carel Adolph Lion Cachet around 1935-1940, showcases a portrait of Joanna Lion Cachet, likely a family member. It is housed at the Rijksmuseum and is an excellent example of the artist's quick, gestural style. The lines are energetic and free-flowing, emphasizing the subject's face and hair while blurring the details of the body and background. The drawing captures a fleeting moment, expressing the artist's keen observation and personal connection with the sitter.
