Azaleabloem c. 1915

"Azaleabloem," a delicate and expressive drawing by Carel Adolph Lion Cachet, is a captivating example of the artist's exploration of botanical forms. Created around 1915, the work depicts a single azalea blossom in a minimalist style, rendered in shades of white and gray against a textured gray background. The artist's masterful use of line and tone captures the ephemeral beauty of the flower, emphasizing its organic form and delicate structure. The piece reflects Cachet's interest in the natural world and his ability to translate the beauty of nature into art. "Azaleabloem" is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, a testament to the artist's significant contributions to the Dutch artistic landscape.
